Lemme guess: For the sake of reproducible builds, the timestamp of all
created files is set to the time of the latest changelog entry.

This is an ugly situation. Always using --checksum brings a huge penalty
indeed. The rsync program could take the source file's ctime into
account but I doubt there's support for that.

To me it seems saner to change Debian's workflow. Adding a new changelog
entry for a binNMU would break a lot of things, though. The least
intrusive but quite hacky way I can think of was to modify the timestamp
by adding one second for the first binNMU and so on. Nothing that gets
implemented over night, though.
