Yeah, this was brought up on the reproducible builds mailing list as well in relation to these three patches. There are at least a few dozen (and probably more) perl packages that suffer from this, so doing this from debhelper would indeed be better (and less effort). Another option might be to do it from upstream? It could just take the timestamp of the source file. Cheers, Jelmer -- Jelmer Vernooij <jel...@debian.org> Debian Developer https://jelmer.uk/
