Hi,

Yes, it is curious why strip-nondeterminism is not "clamping" the
timestamps here, in other words only changing them to the changelog
date if they are newer than this time.

(Just as an aside, how come the tests fail? Are they looking
specifically for these timestamps or is it just that the files have
been changed at all?)


Best wishes,
