SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is currently set by debhelper (dh) in our reproducible repository (and yesterday those changes were also uploaded to unstable). We have currently no changes to export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for non-dh packages. So this one-line change would still be needed to get a reproducible package. I don't think it was already discussed if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be exported also by other parts of the toolchain (like dpkg), so I'm CC'ing the list. Regards, Reiner
