package: dh-cargo
Recently a substantial number of upstream cargo packages started using
timestamps the ftpmasters
consider reject-worthy, I believe this was done in the name of
reproducibility.
After it became clear that this was a larger-scale issue and we got sick
of working around this in individual packages, sylvestre implemented a
workaround in dh_cargo. Unfortunately this fix does not seem to be complete.
Specifically it seems that when an upstream changelog is installed by
dh_installchangelogs to /usr/share/doc it doesn't get the timestamp
fixing treatment. Presumablly because dh_installchangelogs pulls it from
the source tree while the dh_cargo timestamp fixing happens on the
output tree.
I've worked around it for now in crossbeam-deque, but I don't know how
many other packages are
potentially effected (e.g. have changelogs with dodgy timestamps in
their upstream packaging) and whether this is something we need to deal
with centrally.
