according to email from the developer, they did this:
* Deal with the fact that Debian's boot sequence bogusly doesn't set the
time correctly until very late in the boot process; so if the
superblock's last mount or write time is in the future, don't treat
this as a fatal error. (Closes: #343662, #343645)
so I doubt that it broke anything else in the workaround, but we'll see.
