Thanks, Hilmar. Exporting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and LOCALE work in debian/rules. We could just have an empty SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable, so it's always set to epoch time:
> Comment Creation Date: Thu Jan 1 07:30:00 1970 But I think that's a bit ugly, and may perhaps cause weird results for other parts that rely on this variable. One suggestion from [1] is to use the latest timestamp in debian/changelog. I find this a good alternative. We always have to close debian/changelog anyway, so we will always have a proper timestamp, even in the event of an unreleased build. $ dpkg-parsechangelog -S timestamp 1764094991 Therefore I'd like to implement LOCALE=C, and SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH with the latest timestamp of debian/changelog. What do you think?
