We are before Freeze and I was explicitly asked to follow

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/10/msg00001.html

which says:

   You don't need to provide a debdiff
   until the main freeze starts. 

I was refering to this statement and a debdiff does not make any sense
when injecting a new upstream version.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
