Hi Willem,
thanks for the update, looks good and I'll upload it soon!
Just two remarks (as you are upstream)
- your orig.tar has changed since the first iteration, the file
"bootdate" has a different timestamp.
Once a version is released, you should avoid changing the tarball,
this is bad practice
- the logic in configure *will* break reproducible buildsi [1] . Not now,
but when bootdate is out of the checked range.
Please reconsider if the check is really needed.
