Fine by me, no use keeping a wishlist wontfix bug open.
Sorry for not having responded sooner.

I'll just mention that I'd expect the timestamp reset to only happen
when extracting a source package. Any rebuilding (with or without clean)
that applies missing patches, or building out of a git repository,
would be out of scope. (Such scenarios have little chance of generating
a reproducible result anyway.)

As for the NFS case, it seems like it could calculate the delta between
local and remote current time and adjust the debian/changelog timestamp
accordingly.

Anyway, thanks for looking at this!
