| Subject: | GnuPG::Interface source should not include test/random_seed |

Currently, the upstream sources of GnuPG::Interface include a
test/random_seed file. This file changes during each run of the test suite.
This produces noise during the build process (in terms of files changing
from their original version), and the changes are not representable in a
diff, which makes it impossible to build the debian package twice in a
row from the same source without restoring test/random_seed from the
upstream tarball.
I don't think there is a reason to include test/random_seed in the
upstream package at all. It will be re-created when the test suite is
run, and the clean target could simply remove the file to restore it to
its absent state.
