Thanks for alerting me to these.

Passing -notimestamp to javadoc is preferable to stripping the timestamp after the fact, so please still add the -notimestamp option to the javadoc calls. dh_strip_nondeterminism will take a faster codepath if doesn't see the timestamp near the beginning of the html file, which should hopefully avoid slowing the build too much. The reason why we still want dh_strip_nondeterminism to strip out these timestamps is because of packages calling javadoc outside of javahelper. If it slows down the build despite the fast path, we can add a command line argument to dh_strip_nondeterminism to disable javadoc processing, and javahelper could set it with add_command_options. -- Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
