Notes for texi2html - reproducible builds result

Version annotated: 1.82+dfsg1-5
Identified issues:
Identifier: texi2html_captures_users_gecos
Description Difference in the "This documented was generated on/by" line, documented in the notes of the 'texi2html' package. Sub-issue of captures_users_gecos
Comments: The tagline is different between the two builds:
-on $DATE
+by $USER on $DATE
The important difference is that $USER is not available: see T2H_DEFAULT_program_string().
.
The / difference is fallout and can be ignored. (The i18n/en .po file uses different tags in the first translation to in the second translation.)
.
The $USER value the code uses may be the full name from GECOS. That is currently set to "second user" on the second build and is null on the first build, which explains the observations.
