That sounds like a good best practice. It sounds like a separate
item the way things are currently phrased. Do you have some wording
to fit it in, or do you just want to throw it in a separate
recommendation.
Is this section from the packaging guidelines what you're after?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-0239576e441f9ef53...
"When downloading sources, patches etc, consider using a client that
preserves the upstream timestamps. For example wget -N or curl -R. To
make the change global for wget, add this to your ~/.wgetrc:
timestamping = on, and for curl, add to your ~/.curlrc: -R."
