Not quite; I needed to make the following change to your patch:

 - CHANGELOG_TS :=$(shell date +%s
 + CHANGELOG_TS :=$(shell date --utc +%s

.. then it was reproducible. :)

FYI to check this yourself you will need to:

 a) Apply my patch in #845034 against initramfs-tools.

 b) Use cpio 2.12 or later, which is not in sid. However, I have backported
    the parts required in #804063.

 c) Export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to update-initramfs
