@Patola, I agree that my solution is a hack, and that's why I called it
a workaround.  Your solution is only a short-term fix, however.  The
maintainer for util-linux has stated that he plans to drop ddate from
util-linux altogether in the future, making it so that compiling with
--enable-ddate will no longer work.

I suppose the real solution would be to create a deb package based on
the code in that git-hub repository and have it added to the Ubuntu
repository, but I don't know how to do that myself.
