Further tests of 'repro-check' patch revealed that the "origsrc/*" timestamps in patch files contain the local timezone offset.
This would be no longer needed for patch files if "Modify origsrc timestamp in patch files if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is used" would be applied.
This TZ=UTC patch could possibly be dropped then.
The attached patch is on top of the "Add more checks of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH" patch. It could also be applied independently but then requires conflict resolution due to the then missing 'else' branch.
