Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that ben could not be built reproducibly. It embeds the build date/time into a binary. The attached patch fixes this by using the date from the latest changelog entry instead. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
