Actually, it shouldn't be necessary for python-astropy to build-depends
on dh-strip-nondeterminism.  The override_dh_strip_nondeterminism
target in debian/rules will be ignored unless debhelper actually
tries to call dh_strip_nondeterminism, in which case debhelper itself
would depend on dh-strip-nondeterminism.
