As I said, I cannot reproduce the issue outside
profitbricks-build4-amd64.d.n. Still I have a high confidence that the
recursion is indeed the cause and would thus go for the patch.

Given the currently large number of regressions in unstable, I have to
give regression fixes high priority in order to avoid being blinded. So
I'd rather implement a workaround than try patching diffoscope there.

Sorry, testing this is infeasible at the moment.
