Thanks for writing this up. * Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> [250507 13:45]:
A. Shared files in ma-same packages are not allowed to embed S_D_E. For example, no dates in libopts25-dev's manpages. Other situations (eg, other docs) will be handled similarly.
I think we are already in this situation, and already varying files in M-A: same binaries earn the affected packages an rc-bug.
I'll also propose another option, lets call it D: Set S_D_E to sdate + an offset in seconds of int(binNMU-number). BR, Chris
