Oops, I did not send the full work-around, here it is:

(Should hopefully be clearer now!)
The important thing here is replacing all instances of Utc::now()
(across all Rust source files of rust-vergen) by Utc.timestamp(0, 0),
the rest is just adding the required imports -- I have not made a list
of all file names. If you want a list, try "grep -rF Utc::now" or such.
I do not intend to update the workaround, it works fine in Guix and
frankly porting it to whatever format Debian likes is Debian's concern,
not Guix', I'm just sharing our workaround as a courtesy to another distro.
Greetings,
Maxime.
