It already _is_ the default for openSUSE Tumbleweed (aka Factory)... but
then the preferred way of finding out which version it is, is using
version numbers and/or git hashes.
Once you can create the same binaries anywhere and anytime, it does not
matter anymore where and when they were created.

If you are that reliant/insistent on this date, we could add another
[ -z "${WANT_DRBD_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD}" ] ||

that is only explicity set in our .spec file(s) (drbd-utils has the same
issue).
