People are working on reproducible builds to be able to build bit identical packages for a whole Distribution [1]. While I don't know how feasible this really is I think we should not actively work on making that impossible. The people working on reproducible builds state that timestamps in binaries are bad, because when you can reproduce it it doesn't matter if it was build yesterday or a decade ago. Like others already said for security reasons (and also for reproducibility) I don't want to leak the pathes or machine names I use to build dtbs into the binaries. So all this should at least be configurable.
