Package: groff
Version: 1.22.4-6
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

Dear Maintainer,

when using the .DA macro, or whenever you use the 'dy' number register in
any way (and probably the hours number register too), the date doesn't come out 
allright.
looks like a patch was introduced to use UTC time instead of localtime, 
'display-utc-times.patch'
I dont care about reproducible builds, which is the stated purpose of the patch,
I care about the documents I produce having the right date.
That means using my local timezone, not UTC.
I hope correct program output is prioritized over build reproducibility of 
postscript documents (???)

Greetings
