It would also be nice to revisit a small patch I wrote a few months ago
to ignore "LIBARCHIVE.creationtime" headers without annoying error spam
[1]:

diff --git a/src/xheader.c b/src/xheader.c
index e2b124b8..d00b0c90 100644

These warnings have caused some annoyance among Java projects [2] [3]
[4]. I originally noticed that Eclipse packages have the header in their
releases.
