I'm not sure if this is a bug in reprotest or faketime, however we know about
several scenarios where faketime breaks stuff, thus reprotest should not
vary time and date by default, so that reprotest can be run more easily
and more successfullly in CI tests.
Maybe it's worth to clone this bug and fix the underlying issue too, dunno.
