[Reproducible-builds] Bug#800359: [diffoscope] diffing two .dsc should diff the whole sources

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Package: diffoscope
Version: 36
Severity: wishlist

Hi there.

I tend to use diffoscope to check the differences between two uploads
because I like it's output much more than a plain debdiff.
So, I'd like to compare the source, and I feed diffoscope with the 2
.dsc; it shows me only the diff of the .dsc files iteself, which is
quite uselss.

I'd prefer diffosocpe to behave the same why it does with .changes and
diff all the files listed in the Files: field of the .dscs.
