Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
critcl could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the teapot.txt files contain the current build date:

  │ │ ├── ./usr/lib/tcltk/x86_64-linux-gnu/critcl_callback1/teapot.txt
  │ │ │ @@ -1,10 +1,10 @@
  │ │ │  Package critcl::callback 1
  │ │ │  Meta platform linux-glibc2.30-x86_64
  │ │ │ -Meta build::date 2021-07-26
  │ │ │ +Meta build::date 2020-06-24
  │ │ │  Meta generated::by {critcl 3.1.18} root
  │ │ │  Meta generated::date critcl

A patch is attached that updates these values in the Debian binary
package from the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH [1] variable instead, but we could
also patch critcl.tcl to use this variable directly (which could go
upstream):

3980         dict set v::code($file) config package build::date \
3981             [list [clock format [clock seconds] -format {%Y-%m-%d}]]
3982
