Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.3+deb8u1
While working on bug #819711 I realized the debdiff *.dsc did not
include the newly generated debian/libmonoboehm-2.0-1.symbols.powerpc.
I am guessing something wrong with matching expression.
Let me know if you need further detail.
Thanks.

I did not realize that *.dsc file are generated much earlier than what
I thought. I created the symbol file *after* the *.dsc file was
created.
Sorry for the noise.
