The patch is probably unnecessary as SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support has
been added upstream already in the 0.16 series and should arrive in
Debian as soon as a new upstream release is packaged and uploaded.

See #824266 (mkdocs: Please support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification
for build time stamps; https://bugs.debian.org/824266),
https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/issues/938 and
https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/pull/939/commits/8b006bd7fda55e47e29412896c511c7244398f82

So I think #828145 and #824266 can be merged (but I'm not 100% sure,
so leaving this up to the mkdocs maintainers).

This was btw. also on the reproducible-builds mailing list back in May:
