Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-django-import-export could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the testsuite generates files with nondetermistic
filenames under a django-import-export directory, which then gets
installed to under dist-packages in the binary package.

Patch attached that deletes these after the rest run.

This is still an issue, according to both reproduce.debian.net:

https://reproduce.debian.net/excuses.html?source_name=python-django-import-export

and tests.reproducible-builds.org:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/python-django-import-export.html

Was able to confirm that the patch still fixes the issue.

I would like to perform an NMU applying this in next couple weeks,
please let me know if there are any outstanding concerns.

live well,
