As far as I can see, libfaketime doesn't have an equivalent to
datefudge's -s (static time) but I'm not sure if it's really needed in
practice and if it is, I'm confident we can add it to libfaketime.

I assume that datefudge is used to support reproducible builds; in that case it most likely *is* necessary to use the '-s' option, as build times are not going to be constant. I do recommend switching to a supported library. I'm sorry to say that my time budget already is negative for the foreseeable future, thus resuming support for datefudge is out of the question unfortunately.
