Hi, most everything here has been answered so far, so just a small note from me.

we don't use faketime *at all*, as it has been been proven to be problematic /
breaking some / many builds.
we plan to run systems in the future in the future (=with a wrong system
date), but we don't do this yet. (in the past we have run systems in the past
for 1-2 days and then reverted this, as this caused troubles.)
so: we never build *with* faketime, we just build faketime as we build all the
packages.
cheers,
Holger
