Question from the peanut gallery: are timestamp information really
verboten in reproducible builds? I was led to believe that the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH mechanism was introduced to allow programs to keep
embedding this information, while giving packagers the means to assert
reproducibility.

I am not well-versed on the subject of reproducible builds, so I
apologize if I am misunderstanding the state of things; also, since I
don't think the Emacs build system uses the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH mechanism,
I realize that this idea might be out of scope for this bug report…
