Package: dh-strip-nondeterminism
Version: 1.6.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Control: affects -1 debian-paketmanagement-buch

For some reason, dh_strip_nondeterminism doesn't seem to strip file
timestamps from EPUB files despite strip-nondeterminism can strip out
date stamps from them (as diffoscope shows).

This also results in a few packages not being reproducibly built:
