package: diffoscope
If you compare two .changes containing .buildinfo in them, diffoscope
will work its way through the binaries twice, through:
.changes → .deb → file
.changes → .buildinfo → .deb → file
This leads to:
* double comparison time
* differences reported twice in the report (this also means that every
package will most probably hit the "max report size" limit)
* annoyance to the user.
