The removal of POT-Creation-Date (#792687) is a nice thing to do, but
the archive isn't quite ready for it.

 * glibc FTBFS https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21508 and
   no patch is available as of this writing.
 * The commit changes .mo files and thus breaks M-A:sameness allover the
   archive, e.g. #872806. Likely all packages shipping .mo files in
   M-A:same packages are affected. The multiarch database on delfin.d.o
   gives a clue:

   SELECT distinct source
     FROM package
     WHERE multiarch = 'same'
       AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
         FROM content
         WHERE package.id = content.pid
           AND filename LIKE './usr/share/%/%.mo')
     ORDER BY source;

   We'd likely have to binNMU these.

I talked with Daniel Shahaf and we concluded that a temporary revert
would be the best way forward. It shall leave time for fixing the above
issues.
