Bug#908072: diffoscope: `bin/diffoscope --list-debian-substvars` output depends on installed packages

Package: diffoscope
Version: 99
Severity: important

`bin/diffoscope --list-debian-substvars` depends on installed packages.

In particular, it seems "gnupg" and "rpm2cpio" are not printed if they
are not installed.
This makes d/rules generate differing d/tests/control whether the
package is built with nocheck or not.

This accidentally caused the FTBFS of version 100 (about to be
reported).
