There is no "matching expression", at least unless you supply one. If the two packages are the same upstream version and using source format 1.0 then the diff.gz files are passed to interdiff; otherwise, the two source packages are unpacked using "dpkg-source -x" and "diff -Nru" is run over the two trees. "-N" is "treat absent files as empty", which would explicitly request that the new file be included in its entirety in the diff. The only time anything is excluded from the diff is if you pass "--exclude" to debdiff on the command line. In order to be able to try and reproduce this, we would need copies of both source packages (or filenames if they're already in the Debian archive) and the exact command-line being used.
