I mean the following:
    ifeq (,$(filter nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
    override_dh_strip:
            dh_strip
            find . -name '*.a' \( \! -name '*_g.a' \) \
            -exec strip --strip-debug \
            --remove-section=.comment \
            --remove-section=.note {} \;
    endif

so that the debugging symbol are striped only if "nostrip" is not present.
You can see <https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules-options>

Thanks for the extra info! I am new to the reproducible stuff as well.
I will look into it later. The nondeterminism is introduced by a
recent upload since this only affect unstable but not testing.
