I found a better way..:-)
Frans Pop, who was also annoyed by this, just wrote the part of code
which now exactly does this in the synchronisation script.
So, NOW PO FILES HAVE A CORRECT POT-Creation-Date.
The date there is now the date of the last changed POT file for
individual D-I packages. So, in short, you should be able to safely
rely on POT-Creation-Date for D-I level 1.
Ladies and gentlemen, you owe a beer to Frans.....
(one each....Frans, there are 64 languages in D-I...:-))
