This seems to be about preserving timestamps when extracting wheel files.

This is a different issue about preserving timestamps from the source
directory to the temporary build directory.

extraction and build process, you want to preserve timestamps as much as
possible. But for the installation, you do NOT want to preserve timestamps.
