BinNMU changelog for aptitude on amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x, alpha, hppa, hurd-i386, ia64, loong64, m68k, powerpc, ppc64, sh4, sparc64 and x32:

Rebuild for time_t

Given the time and the architectures failing, this is probably related
to dpkg switching on -Werror=implicit-function-declaration on these
architectures (see https://bugs.debian.org/1065371 and a good summary
of a similar case in https://bugs.debian.org/1065431 against lintian).
