Package: dh-strip-nondeterminism
Version: 1.15.0-1
Control: block -1 by 1136317

dh_strip_nondeterminism currently ignores all zip-based file types
produced or used by LibreOffice (for example template files, or color
palettes), although it is able to remove timestamps and other sources of
nondeterminism from other zip-based file formats.
This hinders the reproducibility of many packages that build and ship
LibreOffice files (for instance libreoffice-commons and libreoffice-l10n-*).
This issue is in part due to the fact that `file` is not able to
properly tell these files apart from normal (or apparently malformed)
zip files, as reported in <https://bugs.debian.org/1136317>.
