Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that

This is because the LaTeX-based documentation includes the current
build date. This can be specified to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH through the
LaTeX-specific FORCE_SOURCE_DATE environment variable.
I can confirm this issue is still present and the patch still applies.
I would like to perform a Non-Maintainer Upload (NMU) to apply this
patch and fix the issue sometime in the coming weeks.
Please let me know fi there are outstanding concerns.
live well,
