Hello lamby!

Thank you very much for your answer. Following your suggestion, I have
checked the source code of strip-nondeterminism in its versions 0.034-1
and 0.038-1
(https://sources.debian.net/src/strip-nondeterminism/0.034-1/bin/strip-nondeterminism/
and
https://sources.debian.net/src/strip-nondeterminism/0.038-1/bin/strip-nondeterminism/)
and because the contents related to timestamps in both versions, I think
timestamps it is already normalized by strip-nondeterminism. So in case
to be right, I will affirm this to Emmanuel Bourg, but now I have the
doubt how I need to keep going with bsh issue if strip-nondeterminism
supports timestamps.

Regarding to your observation in the bug #877470
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877470) and because
the situation about strip-nondeterminism supports timestamps, Should I
still correct the bsh_2.0b4-18_2.0b4-18.1.debdiff result including your
content corrections about --mtime="@$(SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH)"?

Also I want to ask you what does it mean you actually use
/usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk for +SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH       ?= $(shell
dpkg-parsechangelog -STimestamp).

Thanks a lot and sorry for my delay to reply,

Best regards,
Jathan
