Hi,
nmudiff includes the full debdiff when preparing a new upstream
release:
bee% lsdiff orbit2-2.14.5-0.1-nmu.diff
/tmp/k7tXieDrqT/orbit2-2.14.4/acinclude.m4
/tmp/k7tXieDrqT/orbit2-2.14.4/ChangeLog
/tmp/k7tXieDrqT/orbit2-2.14.4/configure
[...]
/tmp/k7tXieDrqT/orbit2-2.14.4/debian/changelog
[...]
/tmp/k7tXieDrqT/orbit2-2.14.4/test/inhibit/Makefile.in
/tmp/k7tXieDrqT/orbit2-2.14.4/test/Makefile.in
/tmp/k7tXieDrqT/orbit2-2.14.4/test/poa/Makefile.in
This is not very useful, the maintainer usually only cares about the
delta between the two diff.gz. Interdiff gives usually good results
when the change are truly a diff:
bee% interdiff -z -p1 orbit2_2.14.4-1.1.diff.gz orbit2_2.14.5-0.1.diff.gz
