What is the difference between date.accessioned and date.available?

According to the documentation:

Once any workflow process is successfully and positively completed, the
InProgressSubmission object is consumed by an "item installer", that
converts the InProgressSubmission into a fully blown archived item in
DSpace. The item installer:
Assigns an accession date
Adds a "date.available" value to the Dublin Core metadata record of the item
Adds an issue date if none already present

And the metadata descriptions are as follows:
date accessioned¹ Date DSpace takes possession of item.
date available¹ Date or date range item became available to the public.

But on the items I've checked, the date.accessioned and date.available are
identical. Even in items where the provenance shows three days between
submission and availability.

I would have expected date.accessioned to be closer to the submission date.
But I suppose there's the date.submitted for that, though that doesn't seem
to be auto-populated.

date

submitted

Recommend for theses/dissertations.
Is the description.provenance field the only way to determine the time
between submission and availability?
