Hi!

As part of the “reproducible builds” project [1], we have detected that
keepassx embeds the current date and time when it generates the software
icon in multiple sizes.

This prevents keepassx build from being reproducible:
https://jenkins.debian.net//userContent/diffp/keepassx_0.4.3+dfsg-0.1.diffp.html

The attached patch will set the `date:create` and `date:modify` fields
according to the mtime of the source files. keepassx then builds
reproducibly.

Hi,

keepassx is reproducible since 2015, I would propose to just close this bug.

I'll do so in a week if nobody complains.

Best,
Philip

Hi,

keepassx builds reproducible since version 2.0.3-1 (and even before, I
think), let's close this bug now.

Cheers,
Philip
