    Support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for ar headers
    
    In order to allow Debian packages to be built reproducibly, we need a way for
    users to reproduce the dates captured in the ar headers of the .deb archives.
    
    We now support the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable. If set we will use
    its value instead of the current time. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification is
    available at: https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
