We're hoping to make packages reproducible regardless of the locale.
however, elinks changes its output dependent on the locale, which
affects the generation of jargon.txt.  See:

https://reproducible.debian.net/dbd/unstable/amd64/jargon-text_4.4.7-4.debbindiff.html

The attached patch forces elinks to use C.UTF-8 so that jargon.txt is
always produce in Unicode.

There may be other issues that make the build unreproducible as well.

Hi,

jargon-text builds reproducible for years now - let's close the bug.

Feel free to reopen if I missed something.

Best,
Philip
