Hi,

In debhelper/13.26, `dh_assistant list-guessed-dh-config-files` will now report debhelper commands that does not declare which config files it supports. As an example:

```shell
$ dh_assistant list-guessed-dh-config-files
{
   "commands-not-introspectable": [
      "dh_autoreconf",
      "dh_strip_nondeterminism"
   ],
   # ... more JSON here, omitted for brevity
}
```

This is in turn used by `debputy migrate-from-dh` to warn people when `debhelper` config files might be overlooked.

In case of `dh_strip_nondeterminism`, I believe this should be fixed by adding the following comment anywhere in the command (the file found PATH - imports are not followed):

```
# INTROSPECTABLE: CONFIG-FILES NONE
```

My argument here is that:

 1) The helper can never be skipped (so NOOP promise is not valid)
 2) The helper to my knowledge does not accept any configuration files

If either of these are false, then please review `doc/PROGRAMMING.md` in debhelper/13.26 for alternatives or reply back to me for assistance.

Best regards,
Niels
