Package: dosfstools
Version: 4.2-1

As upstream maintenance has stalled [1], the long-integrated commit to 
add SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support [2] is missing even in the latest Debian 
package as there were no further upstream releases. This breaks building 
of reproducible disk images and forces us to build our own dosfstools 
package [3] for way too long.

Please integrate [2] (and possibly also [4]) into the Debian package at 
least until there is a new upstream release.
