When the filesystem is NFS, "utime(undef, undef, @files);" sets mtime and atime to the current time on the server side. The time() function returns the current time on the client side. The two can disagree, producing breakage. Everything else (normal modification, "touch") uses the time on the server side, so to avoid problems in the presence of time skew, dpkg-source should, too.
