Looking at the perldoc for Koha::DateUtils it appears that we are transitioning
to DateTime and that the K::DU module is merely meant to ease that transition
by hiding "the complexity of switch to DateTime."

I would suggest that using DateTime::Format::MySQL is the better approach as we
work toward phasing out Koha::DateUtils and moving completely to DateTime.
