Any way to hack this? Just pretend it's a different date, the pointers to the latest package will changed to reflect that.

Or somehow record the exact versions when you first build the container, and freeze that.

It's not just about system time, it's about unpinned dependencies on external things. E.g. if you run apt update, after a package is updated upstream, it may install a newer version.
