Wont't this mean base-files wouldn't be rebuilt when the day changes? This
seems problematic to me. I think this is a legitimate case for a checksum
change. If the distro version changes due to the date changing, and the
base-files includes the distro version in the issue file, then we'd *want*
base-files to rebuild to ensure the issue file is correct, otherwise it'd
be inaccurate, no?
