[Reproducible-builds] Bug#805872: dpkg: please enable the feature area reproducible/timeless (-Wdate-time) by default

Hi Guillem,

following the policy [0] about adding a new build flag to the default
set exported by dpkg, we already
 1/ got it in a feature area named reproducible/timeless [1]
 2/ rebuilt the whole archive
 3/ started a discussion on debian-devel at ldo [2]

Since that d-d discussion did not bring any new concern, so we'd like
to proceed with this change.

Attached there is a patch to do this.
