+The compression utility dictzip writes the compressed file's mtime in a header
+of the compressed file. No command-line switch is documented to control or
+suppress this behavior. This makes the build of packages relying on
+freedict-tools such as freedict-dictionaries non-deterministic.
+
+This patch sets the mtime of the .dict file to be compressed by dictzip to the
+start of the epoch on the Greenwich meridian, restoring build determinism.
