Also, I'm not certain, but I believe Emacs may already be omitting the timestamps via gzip -n. If so, then another, more general approach might be to either detect that the gz file is already deterministic, or to strip to a temp file, and only replace the original when there's actually a difference. For now I'm just hacking around the problem in emacs24 with an override that saves/restores the .el.gz timestamps before/after dh_strip_nondeterminism.
