Problem that would make the release tag change if the package gets
rebuilt a few days later.
Only if the date on the souce tarball (notice -r flag) had changed, which
should only really happen if the source had changed. It's a bit of a hack,
but it should be useful IMHO. I haven't tested this yet (just got back
from holiday ..)..
