heads-up, debhelper now depends transitively on libsub-prototype-perl and hence on the current "perlapi"

Inheritance won't work :(

Because Local::AZM replaces Archive::Zip::Member not Archive::Zip.

So I ended up doing a manual monkey patch:
https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/strip-nondeterminism/-/merge_requests/16

JFYI, tests pass locally, but the pipeline failed on something
that totally unrelated:

    gbp:error: Cannot find pristine tar commit for archive
    'strip-nondeterminism_1.13.1.orig.tar.bz2'

Hope this helps,
Alex
