Comment (by cypherpunks):

 There are two ways to solve the issue without changing how the tarballs
 are generated.

 1. `tar` has the `-m` and `--touch` options (see
 [https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Data-Modification-
 Times.html#SEC83]) to use the current date as the modification date when
 extracting.
 2. `rsync` has the `-c` and `--checksum` options to skip based on
 checksum, not mod-time & size (see
 https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsync.html).
