No, I think you are right: If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not set, then this is not going to work. I have tested the patch, but apparently only in an environment where SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH gets set before the build starts. [1] says that setting and exporting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in debian/rules is "a last resort to be avoided where possible", but I guess that if we export with ?=, it should be fine.
