Package: pngcrush
Version: 1.6.7-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

It seems that pngcrush sets the timestamps on the file that it creates to
be the same as the input file.  I've confirmed this by looking at the output
of strace.  There is no rationale for this behaviour in the documentation
nor any way to disable it, as far as I can see.

This caught me because neither Subversion nor my backup system noticed that
the files had changed.   I believe that the behaviour should be made 
consistent with just about every other command-line program, i.e. the 
operating system should be allowed to set appropriate timestamps.

Regards,  Phil.
