tag 824183 will-not-fix thanks Hi Alexis,
> I would suggest to set the default value of > SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH_TEX_PRIMITIVES to 1 instead of 0 in pdftex. No. That would defy the whole introduction of it. It is not my problem to fix dpkg insufficiencies by allowing to simply override author's wishes. If you *want* to override \today, this has to be done explicitely. Not all uses of \today *should* be overwritten. What about a document stating last compiled on \today then you do not want to overide that one, because this is NOT the author's intention.
