I know another issue similar to this one. If you upgrade
your package by applying a patch that change both a source and a
generated file, you can mess the timestamps. I think patch -ZT
does the trick but this is not always possible (e.g. Debian
packages contains timestamp-less diffs -- don't ask me why -- so
the maintainers usually have to rerun the autotools or a serie
of touch configure && sleep 1 && touch Makefile.in, etc.).
