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 file’s times instead of current time
