Hi,

is it correct that this change is required only for packages *not* using
python-build-system? python-build-system itself already has a phase
called ”ensure-no-mtimes-pre-1980“, which should fix the issue for
all Python packages. Can we use that phase for affected packages (two,
so far) and/or factor it out of python-build-system?

Cheers,
Lars
