Comment (by gk):

 Partial rebuilds are worth to have. But I actually don't see how any of
 the four possible solutions you brought up solves this bug while keeping
 this option. I mean, even if we set `REFERENCE_DATETIME` in
 `gitian/versions` the timestamps would be different (e.g. those embedded
 in binaries that don't get rebuilt).
