Description
Hi! 👋
Upon packaging 0.36.0 for Arch Linux I ran into reproducibility issues with svd_data.zip which is bundled when creating a wheel.
The timestamps in the zip file vary, which is an indicator for not supporting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH when creating the file.

Research direction
Start by locating how svd_data.zip is bundled when the Python wheel is created, then reproduce the package with a fixed SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and compare the archive timestamps. Done means repeated wheel builds produce identical svd_data.zip timestamps and no reproducibility difference remains.
