This stems from of Marina Moore’s (@mnm678) excellent work on adding SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for reproducible builds in PR jessevdk#285, and has been extended by Jelmer Vernooij (@jelmer) such that TestMan in help_test.go would not fail when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set to a date different from today.

While working on the reproducible builds project, I noticed that projects using go-flags cannot build reproducibly because of the timestamp in the generated man pages.
This patch makes the output consistent across kernel versions by using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable to allow for a consistent timestamp.
