In other words, you've forced the texi file to be considered to have the
same mtime as the spec file, and that might well be newer than the
previously-generated (years and years ago) info files.
I don't know if that's what's really happening. Can you investigate
please? And if it is, I don't know what to do about it :(.
Maybe making mdate-sh aware of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was a wrong idea :(.
Could the right answer be to limit the effect of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to
timestamps that will appear in built files?
