diffoscope 77 in stretch or not?

[Mattia Rizzolo]

So, today I uploaded diffoscope v77, fixing the security bug introduced
in v67 (in stretch), plus hopefully fixing for good the tests.

The diff between v67 and v77 is *huge*, this is according to git:
 161 files changed, 4247 insertions(+), 1324 deletions(-)

For a project the size of diffoscope is quite astonishing, IMHO :)

The problem lies on the Debian freeze now in effect: what do we want to
do?
I do not feel confortable asking the release team for an exception,
considering, I've asked them a lot already, for some controversial
things too; so if some of you thinks it should, I invite you to go and
file the unblock request.

The question is also specifically for Chris: what did you plan on to do
with diffoscope in regard to Debian's stretch when you decided to work
on it and commit everything to master *and* upload it to the Debian's
unstable?
