OK, done. You should see a report on dpkg-dev soon. Thanks for bugging me. =P

Yes, agreed. This patching/timestamp issue is old.
This issue is quite clear-cut and really ought to be fixed. It's a
semi-major change, but I would certainly suggest issuign a new release
of dpkg-dev that adds only this one feature. Let people acclimatise to
it, and I'm sure the world wouldn't end. I don't think it's necessary
to wait for the mythical dpkg-dev v2.
