Why are you trying to call a Python script invoking it with the binary perl?
How do you know that Bash is not expanding and exporting RECEIVEDDATE?
Code:
export RECEIVEDDATE=$(date +"%Y%m%d.%H%M%S")

I'll say it is the only thing working there.
My mistake. It's python, not perl. I wrote incorrectly the thread title.

It doesn't matter because we are passing by value, not by reference, which is what @Aia suggests (reading from environment variable). I don't like that way because reading from environment variable is broken in some verison of python, so I prefer passing by value.

Anyway it's solved, because the problem was in the PTY communication. Changing the terminal solved the issue, so it's working properly as expected (bash replaces $RECEIVEDDATE with its contents before sending it as argument to perl).

DH_PYCENTRAL(1) 						     Debhelper							   DH_PYCENTRAL(1)

NAME
dh_pycentral - use the python-central framework to handle Python modules and extensions SYNOPSIS
dh_pycentral [debhelper options] [-n] [-Xitem] [-V version] [module dirs ...] DESCRIPTION
dh_pycentral is a debhelper program that will scan your package, detect public Python modules and move them in /usr/share/pycentral so that python-central can byte-compile those for all supported Python versions. Extensions are kept into the original installation location. Moving the files to the pycentral location and adding symbolic links to /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/*-packages can be done by setting the environment varibale DH_PYCENTRAL to a string containing the string include-links. Moving the files to the pycentral location can be disabled by setting the environment varibale DH_PYCENTRAL to a string containing the string nomove. The functionality to shorten the time of unavailabilty of files during unpack and configure has been removed (symlinking files in the preinst and not removing the symlinked files on upgrade) in version 0.6.9. You must have filled the XS-Python-Version header to indicate the set of python versions that are going to be supported. dh_pycentral expects the XB-Python-Version for each binary package it is supposed to work on. dh_pycentral will also generate substitution variables: the ${python:Provides} variable will contain versioned provides of the package (if the package's name starts with "python-"). A python-foo package could provide "python2.3-foo" and "python2.4-foo" at the same time. Python extensions have to provide those whereas it's only option for pure python modules. The ${python:Versions} variable should be used to provide the required XB-Python-Version field listing the python versions supported by the package. OPTIONS
module dirs If your package installs python modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_pycentral check those directories by passing their names on the command line. By default, it will check /usr/lib/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/$PACKAGE, /usr/lib/games/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/games/$PACKAGE, /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages and /usr/lib/python?.?/dist-packages. Note: only /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages and the extra names on the command line are searched for binary (.so) modules. -V version If the .py files your package ships are meant to be used by a specific pythonX.Y version, you can use this option to specify the desired version, such as 2.3. Do not use if you ship modules in /usr/lib/site-python. With the new policy, this option is mostly deprecated. Use the XS-Python-Field to indicate that you're using a specific python version. -n, --noscripts Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts. -Xitem, --exclude=item Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being taken into account to generate the python dependency. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude. CONFORMS TO
