Hi, Given the recent work on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], I think it would be a good idea to increase the severity -- and thus the visibility -- of the package-contains-timestamped-gzip tag. My loose rationale is that assuming that most maintainers would now be fine with receiving a bug with a patch correcting such an issue, it is reasonable for this to be a bit "louder" in Lintian.
