For starters, we could add a -v/--verbose flag to the distribution-agnostic
code.  Then we could look into making DH_VERBOSE imply that flag in the
Debian-specific code.

I assume it'd be along the lines of: 1) Add a 'verbose' knob to the
library, 2) Have strip-nondeterminism set that flag when -v, 3) Have
dh_strip_nondeterminism set that flag when DH_VERBOSE.  (But I'm not
familiar with how dh invokes strip-nondeterminism.)

Cheers,
