Is there a way of avoiding the modification time contained inside
the .pyc files? According to
http://wiki.baserock.org/projects/deterministic-builds/: "Debian solve
this by creating the .pyc and .pyo files at package install time",
which is essentially what we do. How do they handle this exactly?

Thanks,

Thomas
