Build even further in the future to catch more non-determinstic behaviour.

[Holger Levsen]

Hi,

lamby has a patch:

commit 60bb20a43218c6ac4b95fd7971026ac0ba5ce682
Author: Chris Lamb <lamby at debian.org>
Date:   Tue Nov 15 11:25:28 2016 +0000

    Build even further in the future to catch more non-determinstic
behaviour.
    
     * Ensure that more bytes of a year changes (eg. 2016->2017 vs.
     * 2026->2027)
    
     * Catch FTBFS within the lifetime of the stable release.
    
     * -days 3650 is quite common when generating certicates, so we
     * catch FTBFS
       this way.
    
with this change:

-               sudo date --set="+398 days +6 hours + 23 minutes"
+               sudo date --set="+3980 days +6 hours + 23 minutes"


I'm not sure but I think that's too much. I think the lifetime of a
stable release is ~5 years, at least after the release, so maybe 7 years
or so, but not 10. Also I'm not sure we deliberatly wont to break stuff
with >3650 days anyway…

So I'd rather propose 2555+31+2=2588 days…

What do you think?
