Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
src:mono generates "mastersummary.xml" files with nondeterministic contents:

Here is, for example, diffoscope output from src:hyena:

│ │ │ │ ├── mastersummary.xml
│ │ │ │ │ ├── mastersummary.xml
│ │ │ │ │ │ @@ -1,95 +1,95 @@
│ │ │ │ │ │  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
│ │ │ │ │ │  <elements>

│ │ │ │ │ │ +  <namespace ns="Hyena.Gui">
│ │ │ │ │ │      <summary>To be added.</summary>
│ │ │ │ │ │      <remarks>To be added.</remarks>

Patch attached that should sort these files before iterating.
