Package: freecad
Version: 0.20.2+dfsg1-4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be convenient if the freecad binary package (or the maybe the
freecad-python3 one) included the `fcinfo` python script [1].
This tool is recomended in FreeCAD's wiki as a way to view
human-readable diffs of .FCStd files [2]. It does not have to be in the
path, though I think it could be useful.
