Package: dh-strip-nondeterminism
Version: 0.037-1
Severity: serious
Affects: src:python-astropy
The python-astropy package contains (for testing purposes) an invalid.dat.gz
file that lets dh_strip_nondeterminism fail (#779627).
Therefore I had to overwrite it in d/rules:
override_dh_strip_nondeterminism:
dh_strip_nondeterminism -Xinvalid.dat.gz
which worked until today. Now, I get the following error:
[...]

I would also take the opportunity and repeat my opinion that
dh_strip_nondeterminism should not fail on invalid files. Files with an invalid
format are in no means wrong in a Debian package; they are just a bit unusual
(and could be f.e. mentioned by lintian, which can be overwritten), but a
random packaging helper tool should be able to deal with them without further
efforts. dh_strip_nondeterminism is IMO not the right tool to check for invalid
zip files.
