    dpkg-buildpackage: Preset build timestamp to latest changelog entry
    
    dpkg-buildpackage will set the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable to the
    date of the latest entry in debian/changelog. This enables build to be easily
    reproduced as the dates captured in the `.deb` archives will be deterministic.
    
    SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH can also be externaly set before running dpkg-buildpackage.
    to reproduce the build with an arbitrary date.
    
    Closes: #759886
    Closes: #759999
