what filename endings have those files?
The sure ones are .bau, .dat, .so{b,p}. Then there are a couple extra
that will need further inspection.
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>.
so maybe this bug should be reassigned to src:file?
1136317 blocks this bug. dh_strip_nondeterminism will need extra code to
handle these file extensions. As far as I can see from the code,
dh_strip_nondeterminism does not blindly strip timestamps & Co. from all
zip-based file types.
