Okay, that makes sense. But I still see two issues:

1) the error message checkpkg prints is misleading (the full version
field is present, there is a mismatch, however).

2) Where are the dates coming from? I didn't specify either one. I was
simply testing the packaging by re-packaging a previously compiled CUPS
tree.

One date is obviously today's, the other one seems to be when the
package was built. I don't want to have to rebuild everything simply to
get the dates right, if all I want to do is package up the binaries I
already have.
