Package: diffoscope
Version: 30
Severity: wishlist

ATM diffoscope has overzealos

    try:
        sys.exit(main())
    except (Exception, KeyboardInterrupt):
        traceback.print_exc()
        sys.exit(2)


1. upon KeyboardInterrupt probably makes sense not to print the stack

2. it complicates debugging happen exception is raised.  It might be nice to 
at least

  import pdb; pdb.post_mortem()

 there if e.g. --debugger option was provided

Cheers,
