Thanks for the offer.

If you take v2.6.3 from unstable and use the attached patch, the test
passes in a standard schroot, but fails in reprotest.

I'm using

 prove -lv t/1628_import_pdf_metadata.t

to test normally, and

 reprotest -vv 'prove -lv t/1628_import_pdf_metadata.t' 'dist/*.tar.gz'

from reprotest.

Specifically, the PDF creation datetime is being returned as 2018-12-31
00:00, rather than the expected 12:00, but the timezone in reprotest
seems to be GMT.

I'd be glad of any insights.

Regards

Jeff
