Thanks for looking at this. Updates to src:file have indeed caused
regressions in the past as diffoscope relies heavily on its output.

Christoph, is there a chance that this could be a s390x-specific issue
with file? (Or, perhaps more likely, a Big Endian-specific issue? A
quick glance at [0] suggests that s390x is Debian's only BE
architecture at the moment.)
