Bug Description
[ SRU Verification ]
This is just a papercut, but diff-highlight was shipped built in the past (including in xenial), so dropping it in bionic was a regression.
[ Regression Potential ]
None, this is just shipping a built perl script in doc.
[ Test Case ]
Check that the file is now shipped and works when specified in the [pager] section as shown in the bug report.
[ Original Report ]
This was removed in my most recent upgrade on artful, 1:2.11.0-4 -> 1:2.14.1-1ubuntu3.
This is particularly frustrating as it caused a bunch of git operations to start erroring for me, as I have the following in my .gitconfig:
[pager]
diff = perl /usr/share/
log = perl /usr/share/
show = perl /usr/share/

(Filing this in Ubuntu even though it's being tracked in Debian, because I think this will be a papercut for a number of users if it ends up in artful.)
