Probably you already know this, but just in case... debdiff can be used to compare .dsc and .changes files, like debdiff aptitude_0.6.[78]-1*.dsc debdiff aptitude_0.6.[78]-1*.changes The former will unpack the sources and will tell you exactly the differences, the latter will compare *all* of your binaries at once so it will tell you if there's something missing, or which files moved between packages (as well as differences in dependencies, descriptions, installed sizes and so on). So in this case, it will tell very clearly which files in aptitude_0.6.7-1 moved to aptitude-common_0.6.8-1.
