npm: Skip dh_strip_nondeterminism for npm packages #244

As our packaging is not clean anyway and this step takes a long while with packages that have many files, maybe even longer with bullseye now, simply skip it. Saves several minutes build time for many packages.

LGTM.

Just curious, why this npm.bbclass is not upstreamed to ISAR?

Because it's an evil hack for an evil problem: dependency explosion with NodeJS packages.

The proper solution would be individual packaging of dependencies, not the vendoring that this class does. But it's unrealistic to maintain such a huge pile of dependencies as Debian packages, often even for the Debian community.
