I don't know if "retargeted links" covers the following situation, but don't forget about dangling symbolic links. The GIMP upstream source contains links to a binaries which don't exist until you build the package. This does not make diff happy. I got around the problem by just deleting the links in the upstream source before running diff, but this is not really ideal. -- Rob
