Thanks for the pointer.
If dpkg is getting its own tar implementation, I think the following
could work:
If we record the time when the build starts, we know that any files
created after that time are newly created files. So we can use a unique
timestamp for all of them.
(This could be done manually by touch'ing the files.)
Together with the approach mentioned previously (using
DEB_BUILD_TIMESTAMP), this could allow rebuilds with the aforementioned
unique timestamp preset to the date of the initial build.
