I'm not very fond of this suggestion, as it would change the behavior our users may expect (the -notimestamp option also removes the version of the JDK used, and this is sometime used by Greasemonkey scripts to change the style of the pages [1]). If this is implemented it would be preferable to disable the timestamps only when building a Debian package (through the detection of a specific environment variable). It's also worth mentioning that javahelper and maven-debian-helper have been changed to disable the timestamps in the javadoc, so this issue now only affects the packages that do not use these helpers (I haven't checked how many exactly, but I hope that's a minority).

Bug#783938: openjdk-8: please remove timestamp embedding from javadoc
Source: openjdk-8 Version: 8u45-b14-1 Severity: wishlist User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: toolchain X-Debbugs-CC: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Hi! While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that a lot of java packages are using javadoc, which includes a timestamp in the generated documentation by default. To make a lot of those packages reproducible, we currently have a workaround in strip-nondeterminism, which removes those timestamps again. But our long-term goal is to get rid of such workarounds and solve the problems at the root. javadoc has a -notimestamp option, which can already prevent the embedding of those timestamps, but not every package is making use of this (directly or indirectly by using a helper like javahelper). It would be awesome if the default behavior of javadoc could be changed to never embed timestamps unless explicitely requested.
