We discussed that zip problems aren't that bad to change timestamps of
/nix/store paths directly (1.1. 1970).
For python and similar we have a hook that touches source files after
"unpacking" phase - the typical problem is after fetch* other than
fetchurl. Typical usage:
buildInputs = [ (ensureNewerSourcesHook { year = "1980"; }) ]
Note that our generic python builder already does use the hook
automatically.
