Yes indeed, there is a limit for attacments to bugreports, but I do
not remember/know how hight it is set. This might thus been the
reason.

Compressing those debdiffs with xz massively reduces their size:

197K + 620B for the both together. Suggest do do that on big debdiffs.
I nsome cases you see the similar issue when people fill
proposed-updates bugs for the (stable) release managers, and then
posts with debdiffs not showing up. It's almost always then that the
attachment was too big.

Thanks for your work!

Regards,
Salvatore
