Hello, I fail to see that pristine-tar is (or even can be) at fault here. Pristine-tar knows nothing about debian/changelog file so it cannot set modification times to last changelog entry. In fact, the only thing that pristine-tar cares about is recreating tarballs that were fed into it. It is true that pristine-tar sets times to zero on checked in files, but if you investigate further you will find that it also generates a binary delta between this "adjusted tarball" and the original tarball to fix such things. Maybe I'm missing something, but I really think the problem lays somewhere else. Cheers, Tomasz
