Maybe it should be good to also have (to be merged with ddce83d)

if (! exists($ENV{SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH_TEX_PRIMITIVES})) {
    $ENV{SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH_TEX_PRIMITIVES} = 1;
}

in dpkg-buildpackage (see summary and pointers in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=759999#25)

This is not essential with current version of texlive-bin in our
reproducible toolchain, that backports TL2016 patches to TL2015
currently packaged (without using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH_TEX_PRIMITIVES), but
it will be meaningful when TL2016 will be released and reach debian.
