Bug#1119015: 0ad-data: Overly slow dh_strip_nondeterminism step

Source: 0ad-data
Version: 0.27.1-1

When this source package is built, the dh_strip_nondeterminism step
takes a very long time to run due to the huge .zip files that are part
of the game data. Even though the build does little more than copy and
repack files, the dpkg-buildpackage run took slightly over half an hour
on my test system, most of that taken up by dh_s_n pegging a CPU core.

If I add

    override_dh_strip_nondeterminism:
        dh_strip_nondeterminism -X.zip

to debian/rules, the build completes in a minute and a half.
