Hi!
As part of the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we added a
"reproducible/timeless" feature area to dpkg which exports -Wdate-time
via CPPFLAGS [1].
In our CI infrastructure we enabled that in Spring.
We now think this is the right time to enable this flag by default.
From our builds, we can only see 4 packages which fail to build due to
this:
subversion + unbound

expeyes
https://bugs.debian.org/790103
wsjt
https://bugs.debian.org/804672
Following [2] we're now bringing this up on debian-devel@l.d.o to learn
about for any known issues we may be not aware of, any concerns, etc.
