I marked this as "affects me too", not because it particularly affects
me, but because it is clearly a code improvement -- provided the locale-
specific format-time-string parameters are substituted with locale-
independent constructs (in particular, %b expands to the locale's
abbreviated month name; I don't know if there is a way to override the
locale locally [sic] or if you would have to hard-code, say, a vector of
English month names).

Title:
  debian-changelog-mode support for non-coreutils systems

Status in “emacs-goodies-el” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current debian-changelog-mode shells out to coreutils' date.

  To increase portability (some developers work on packages from other
  architectures), it would be nice to see this clean up get integrated:

  https://github.com/pcarrier/debian-changelog-mode/commit/fcf691df

  I get this should be reported upstream, but I won't pursue this
  further. Feel free to report/champion if this is of any interest to
  you.
