'The' timestamp of a snapshot of deb.debian.org



Hello Debian developers,

I'm looking for 'the' timestamp of the Debian Archive, which will allow me to virtually travel through time to re-generate a specific state of Debian.

I've looked at the following places:
* http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/InRelease
  File timestamp: 2022-09-10 10:27
  Content: Sat, 10 Sep 2022 10:18:01 UTC
* https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/InRelease
  File timestamp: 2022-09-18 02:14
  Content: Sun, 18 Sep 2022 02:12:23 UTC
* https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/InRelease
  File timestamp: 2022-09-18 02:14
  Content: Sun, 18 Sep 2022 02:12:23 UTC
* https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/Release
  File timestamp: 2022-09-18 02:13
  Content: Sun, 18 Sep 2022 02:12:23 UTC
* https://deb.debian.org/debian/project/trace/ftp-master.debian.org
  File timestamp: 2022-09-18 08:22
  Content: Sun Sep 18 02:23:16 UTC 2022
* https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20220918T030507Z/dists/sid/InRelease
  URL timestamp: 2022-09-18T03:05:07Z
  File timestamp: 2016-05-18 23:01:23 symlinked to 2022-09-18 03:05:07
  Content: Sun, 18 Sep 2022 02:12:23 UTC
* https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20220918T030507Z/project/trace/ftp-master.debian.org
  URL timestamp: 2022-09-18T03:05:07Z
  File timestamp: 2022-09-18 03:05:07
  Content: Sun Sep 18 02:23:16 UTC 2022
* Did I miss another file?

All of these timestamps (for sid) are close to each other, but not identical. I would guess that the earliest timestamp is the 'real' timestamp, but it is accessible (on snapshot.d.o) only with a later timestamp.

Is there a mechanism that prevents additional updates from being (partly) included while the dak synchronisation takes place?

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
