Bug#935017: debhelper breaks strip-nondeterminism autopkgtest

Source: debhelper, strip-nondeterminism
Control: found -1 debhelper/12.5.1

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of debhelper the autopkgtest of
strip-nondeterminism fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with
the binary packages of debhelper from unstable. It passes when run with
only packages from testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
debhelper              from testing    12.5.1
strip-nondeterminism   from testing    1.5.0-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of debhelper to
testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report
against both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and
reassign the bug to the right package?
