The build system rebuilds packages as soon as required packages
changed. This is normal, and expected. The problem here is, that the
build result changes, and thus the newly built package is published.

The actual case is an occurrence of __date__ in PythonSwig - which I
believe I already fixed about a year ago, but this most probably got
lost in the meantime. I will submit a change to your home, and would
like you to push that change to Multimedia from your repo afterward.
