Would it be possible to set the timestamp to the release date in
debian/changelog instead please? Sometimes when debugging tricky issues
I have found useful to know the build time of a jar.

Note that some java packages also produces jar files with the .war and
.hpi extension, you may want to extend your processing to them.

Ok

Regarding the MANIFEST.MF file, you may want to remove the
Bnd-LastModified field (another timestamp) and the Built-By field (it
contains the system username).

I was planning to add the -notimestamp option to the javadoc calls, but
this solution is fine. I just hope it doesn't slow the build too much.
