This was (non-intentionally, and not sure whether anybody realized) done
due to the same reason we are not including Environment.
After this you could also just remove that code from Reiner from the
other day as well...

I see that Holger already merged this, but:

Did anybody checked the git history to see why this was done?

Now that we're comparing .changes again diffoscope will walk through the
packages twice, once through .changes→.deb and once through
.changes→.buildinfo→.deb, doubling the comparing time and so causing
timeouts in a lot more packages (and we already have a lot of them).


I'll file a diffoscope bug after this email.
