GL_RENDERER date: last time the driver source was changed (in general).
Package date: when the package was put together.
They are completely unrelated -- the fact that the GL_RENDERER date
hasn't changed means you can use any of the packages from 20010402 to
20010501 and you'll get the same driver. At least, if people have been
updating the internal date strings accordingly :-) You'll also notice a
date string in /var/log/messages each time the kernel module is loaded.
