diffoscope 205 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

diffoscope (205) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix a file(1)-related regression where .changes files that contained
    non-ASCII text were not identified as being .changes files, resulting in
    seemingly arbitrary packages on tests.reproducible-builds.org and elswhere
    not comparing the package at all. The non-ASCII parts could have been in
    the Maintainer or in the upload changelog, so we were effectively
    penalising anyone outside of the Anglosphere.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#291)
  * Don't print a warning to the console regarding NT_GNU_BUILD_ID changes in
    ELF binaries.

diffoscope: in-depth visual diff tool for files, archives and directories

 diffoscope is a visual diff tool that attempts try to get to the bottom of
 what makes files or directories actually different.
 .
 It can recursively unpack archives of many kinds, transforming various binary
 formats into more human-readable form to compare them in a human-readable way.
 It can compare two tarballs, ISO images or PDFs just as easily. The
 differences can be displayed on the console or in a HTML report.
 .
 This is a dependency package that recommends the full set of external tools,
 to support as many type of files as possible.
 .
 File formats supported include: Android APK files, Android boot images, Apple
 Xcode mobile provisioning files, ar(1) archives, ASM Function, Berkeley DB
 database files, bzip2 archives, character/block devices, ColorSync colour
 profiles (.icc), Coreboot CBFS filesystem images, cpio archives, Dalvik .dex
 files, Debian .buildinfo files, Debian .changes files, Debian source packages
 (.dsc), Device Tree Compiler blob files, directories, ELF binaries,
 ext2/ext3/ext4/btrfs/fat filesystems, Flattened Image Tree blob files,
 FreeDesktop Fontconfig cache files, FreePascal files (.ppu), Gettext message
 catalogues, GHC Haskell .hi files, GIF image files, Git repositories, GNU R
 database files (.rdb), GNU R Rscript files (.rds), Gnumeric spreadsheets, GPG
 keybox databases, Gzipped files, Hierarchical Data Format database, ISO 9660 CD
 images, Java .class files, Java .jmod modules, JavaScript files, JPEG images,
 JSON files, LLVM IR bitcode files, LZ4 compressed files, macOS binaries,

 are considered too large or niche for general use.
