-    .a files are ar archives. By default, they will contain a timestamp for

+    .a files are ar archives. Since binutils 2.25-6 they should be deterministic
+    by default, but there are some remaining buggy corner cases - see
+    bug #843210 for example if the package uses binutils-multiarch.

+    Other tools that create ar archives directly should in theory be covered by
+    strip-nondeterminism, but it is still good to patch them.
