Looking at the changelog entry
* Drop specify-timestamp.patch, applied upstream in binutils 2.41
(Closes: #1042734)
changing the rdeps does not make any sense at all, since the
--insert-timestamp support is now supposed to be available upstream?
Since binutils-mingw-w64-i686 is reported to be 2.41 the support should
be available. So is binutils-mingw-w64-i686 actually 2.41 and if yes,
why does "applied upstream" not hold?
Nicholas (as NMUer) - can you explain?
