Bug description:
  When trying to build jq locally it FTBFS for me since the unit tests
  that run during the build and check the output of fromdate fail:

  Testing 'fromdate' at line number 642
  *** Expected 1425599507, but got 1425603107 for test at line number 644: fromdate
  Testing 'strptime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")' at line number 646
  Testing 'strptime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")|mktime' at line number 650
  *** Expected 1425599507, but got 1425603107 for test at line number 652: strptime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")|mktime

  This is caused by this upstream bug
  https://github.com/stedolan/jq/issues/2001 which was fixed by this
  upstream commit
  https://github.com/stedolan/jq/commit/3c5b1419a278dfb192666b33197dc182c670290d
  but this fix is not yet in 1.6-2 as shipped in Ubuntu.

  See attached for a debdiff which includes the upstream patch to
  resolve this.
