Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Dear ftp-masters,
dpkg-dev is using the latest Debian changelog entry to set the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable and to clamp the mtime of files
in the generated .deb packages. Therefore having the latest Debian
changelog entry with either the same or even an older date as the entry
before causes subtle bugs. Most notably it breaks backup systems as the
content of the files change, but not the associated mtime.
Fortunately the latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-date lintian
tag is able to detect that. Please autoreject packages with such a
lintian tag.
Thanks,
Aurelien
