Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
rust-coreutils could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the "timeout" private binary includes the full
contents of argv[0] in its --help output (ie. including the absolute
build path).

The call to help2man in debian/rules then includes the build path in
the automatically-generated rust-timeout(1) manual page, making the
build not reproducible.

A patch is attached that uses the basename in the --help output
instead. This behaviour actually matches all of the other binaries in
that directory; curiously, only the rust-timeout binary is affected.

Hello

Many thanks! I think it is fixed upstream already (moved from getopts to
clap)

Cheers
