The other obvious option is to not ship a version in stretch and rely on
stretch-backports, if diffoscope development hasn't yet settled down
enough (will it ever) for a Debian stable release cycle...

That said, it's useful even with some of the bugs.

How does trydiffoscope fit into the picture? Is it sufficiently isolated
that the heavy lifting offloaded to a network service is more
maintainable for a stable release?
