So it is a Debian specific document, and GAP_CONVERT_DATE seems to be Debian 
specific as well:
does it make sense to make (if still possible) GAP_CONVERT_DATE having the same 
format as SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
in such a way that the original date format used by GAP itself is hard-encoded 
in convert.pl
(as SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is) ?
