Look like you are right! Nicely spotted. :)

As I wrote in one of my answers to Guillem:
“Most packages that I have seen so far do not propagate timestamps when
copying a file from source.  Could you give me an example of one that
would do so?”

No one has been able to give me an example so far. If anyone has an idea
on how to find one, or can find one, that would be great.
