> Does this still happen? If so, what OS is this?
Yes, Linux 64bit, Debian testing.
> The question to investigate is whether the files have those creation
dates inside the package that we ship (which would indicate a problem with
the reproducible build side), or they just get that timestamp after
extracting and installing, which would not be surprising since that's how
timestamps work on newly created files.
The latter (I extracted the bundle several times and the timestamp changed
accordingly to my systems time) but it is weird that it only affects those
files. They are shipped as the other ones in the bundle.
