Subject: weka-doc: Fails to build reproducibly: embeds build date in documentation

Date: Thu, 08 Apr 2021 21:44:35 +0530

Package: weka-doc
Version: 3.6.14-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

src:weka fails to build reproducibly because its binary package weka-doc
vendors a pdf that saves in build date,

Hence the best way is to simply remove build date from the said pdf.
Since this is actively maintained on salsa, I made a merge request[1]
for the same along with other minor fixes, please consider merging.
I'm also pasting the patch below in case if this is needed for reference
