Dear fonts team,

`fonts-topaz-unicode` currently uses `faketime` to force `bitsnpicas` to 
generate reproducible TTF files.

The real solution to this issue is <https://bugs.debian.org/1127641>. 
Once the patch in that bug report will be applied, `fonts-topaz-unicode` 
will automatically become reproducible.

You can find a MR that cleans up the unneeded workaround at

https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fonts-topaz-unicode/-/merge_requests/1

Regards,
