I would like to know how other maintainers think about this issue and
wait until it is clear whether this issue will be fixed in Debian's
doxygen package or not. If it turns out that the project favors the
"patch-all-affected-packages" approach, then this patch can be quickly
applied. But I still have my doubts about the efficiency of this approach.


I talked to helmut as a doxygen maintainer on IRC and he pointed out the following:

 - dh_doxygen only runs after the build is completed and thus has no
   way to influence the run of doxygen

 - since it is impossible to determine the configuration file used by
   doxygen during the build, the only working solution in practice
   would be to move /usr/bin/doxygen to /usr/bin/doxygen.real and let
   the former be a thin wrapper around the latter which detects using
   environment variable when a package build is in progress and if so
   determines the used configuration file and changes its value of
   HTML_TIMESTAMP to NO before passing it on to doxygen.real

It is unlikely that such a fragile and hacky workaround will be included in dh_doxygen.

Cheers, akira
