[Reproducible-builds] Bug#785777: debbindiff: hexdump output when text encoding of file has changed

[Paul Wise]

Package: debbindiff
Version: 20
Severity: minor

When I debbindiff the attached HTML files, I get a diff of the hexdumps
of the two files. This is less useful than what diff outputs. The two
files have different encodings, which is probably the cause of this.
