Thanks. I'm a tracker.d.o user and that does not provide such info (=> #792738) Anyway, i asked for a bit of help to the RT [0] and discovered some things, like that autoremovals calculations is done by UDD and not anything run by them and that it does consider also build-dependencies. Looks like python-astropy build-dep on strip-nondetermism, and that (sadly) you (= astro team) did [1]. Personally I find shameful that a maintainer need such hack for a fail on our parts, please DO poke use more hardly the next time. strip-nondetermism is already fixed in git, soon will be uploaded too, so i think you can drop that workaround. And please accept my forgivness for this. [0] that means nthykier and adsb, thank you!
