Hi Maintainer and i386, arm, mips porters

As can be seen on reproducible builds [1], datefudge now FTBFS on at
least i386 and armhf, and I was able to confirm the failure on the
mipsel porterbox.

As datefudge is a build-dependency of gnutls28 and oath-toolkit, both
key packages, how should this be resolved?
