[Reproducible-builds] Bug#785624: Timestamps in manpages generated makes builds non-reproducible

[Ximin Luo]

Hi,

https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsProposal

Any chance you can rewrite the patch to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in unix timestamp format? The reason for preferring this over the ISO8601 format is given in that link.
