Take for example man- or info-pages: they get compressed at build

the time stamps will always be different between different builds, no

conflicts, no such file could ever be shared even though the content is
identical.
If I remembmer well, in fedora, man pages timestamps are kept, even if
gzipped.
I don't see any attempt to do time stamp preservation in brp-compress
(and evidence from packages says the same), would be possible of course
if somebody cared enough :) Hmm, would be easy even, as "touch" appears
to have the perfect option for it:
-r, --reference=FILE
use this fileʼs times instead of current time

gzip itself keeps timestamps by default (man page also says:
By default, gzip keeps the original file name and timestamp in the compressed file)
