[debhelper-devel] Bug#759886: Bug#759886: debhelper: please make mtimes of packaged files deterministic

Do you have a plan to get packages not using dh or cdbs to use this new
command?

I can think of 2 ways.. one is to add it to some existing command,
perhaps renaming the command. I thought maybe dh_fixperms could be
renamed to dh_fixmetadata. But, I think some will use dh_fixperms -X to
exclude certian files from being fixed, and we would not want that to
apply to mtime fixing.

My other idea is to make dh_fixmtimes set something that a later command
(eg, dh_builddeb) could use and warn if it was not run.
