Bug#1069709: dpb: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
dpb could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it embedded timestamps in .pdf files and in "generated
on.." comments in various scripts. (Ideally the latter could be
removed entirely.)

Patch attached.
