It seems like the upload was eventually processed, although the fix
included was only a partial fix.

The -u (a.k.a. --utc) argument to date is needed for the build to be
independent of the timezone:

Unfortunately, the Copyright date range at the end of the manpage still
includes the year it was built and not the year from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH,
so if the package is built in a different calendar year, it will not be
reproducible. I have not figured out a fix for that yet, but am looking
into it...
