You are right, my bad. I *meant* that it should be the same offset as in
debian/changelog. But yes, annoyingly it is hard to get date(1) to do that,
because of the same reasons I outlined earlier. But debhelper could do it
correctly in one place, and then tools could use it.
I guess it's up to me to write a patch for that, and then see if people want
it. I suppose we can leave this discussion for now.
