Well, now, I don't understand the question. Let me try with an example :

1) package built and installed with 3.0 :

$ cat /var/lib/pacman/local/sdl-1.2.12-1/desc | grep DATE -A1
%BUILDDATE%
Sun Aug  5 13:37:03 2007
--
%INSTALLDATE%
Mon Aug  6 19:59:09 2007

2) package built with 3.0 but installed with git :

$ cat /var/lib/pacman/local/git-1.5.3.3-1/desc | grep DATE -A1
%INSTALLDATE%
1191220054

3) package built and installed with git :

$ cat /var/lib/pacman/local/moc-2.5.0_alpha2-1/desc | grep DATE -A1
%BUILDDATE%
1191172788
--
%INSTALLDATE%
1191173034


No problems with 1 and 3.
About 2, I don't think it's wrong, but there might also be other ways to handle this case,
so I was just asking.
