Subject: coreutils: date --date=YYYY is incorrect

Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:40:01 -0400

Package: coreutils
Version: 8.13-3.2
Severity: normal

date --date=YYYY, where YYYY is a year, just returns today's date
without complaining about an invalid input.

I would expect it to produce the same date as YYYY-01-01.
