Comment (by gk):

 Hm.. Are we really able to get rid of `faketime` here? Back then when I
 cleaned up the respective Linux descriptor I had the same idea but, after
 testing, realized that we still need it for zipping up the results. I just
 re-run the same tests on an LXC box and again preloading libfaketime is
 needed. I actually don't see a difference in this regard in the OS X
 related descriptor. Thus, I am inclined to do the same here. I can
 probably test whether that really matters later.

 Regarding the fixup I wonder whether that is a gitian-builder issue as
 well and should be fixed there, too, (like the sudo thing). I mean both
 KVM and LXC are using clean Debian Wheezy VMs and there should be no
 reason this descriptor fixup is needed for KVM but not for LXC.
