A timezone-dependent timestamp is embedded in /usr/games/edid-decode:

The attached patch to debian/rules fixes this by ensuring the date is
output in the UTC timezone.

According to my local tests, with this patch applied, edid-decode should
build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!

Thanks for maintaining edid-decode!

live well,
