James the alteration in Debdiff really not resolve the problem that
--link-doc.
But bypass problem, because in hourly that comparation the version,
the package tworld accepts depends version bigger or equal, and installs
correctly.

-Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, tworld-data (=
${source:Version})
*+Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, tworld-data (>=
${source:Version})*

Why not remove *(>= ${source:Version})* the control? Is it really
necessary?
If removes the *(>= ${source:Version}), *would not the latest version of
tworld-data be installed?
