This is a completely different version. Once Debian updates (in a few
years) they'll get the same result.
If you are misusing interfaces you get what you deserve. At no time was
it correct to use these functions for general date manipulation. It
always only was allowed to use them to represent system times and there
was no Unix system before the epoch. Therefore you argumentation is
completely wrong.
If you need date manipulation write your own code which work for all the
times you want to represent.
