Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
rocdbgapi could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it embedded the a timezone-varying date (fixed by passing
"UTC" in CMakeLists.txt) as well as the build username (fixed by exporting
a fixed value of the "USER" environment variable).

Patch attached.

Regards,

This patch still basically applies and is still needed to make the
package build reproducibly.

I would like to submit an NMU in the coming week or two to get this
fixed. Plase let me know if there are outstanding concerns!

I have uploaded an NMU to DELAYED/10. debdiff attached.
