Generating the nmudiff with debdiff is rather silly IMO. It can be
generated by git more easily. I have a half-finished branch which
does this.
The idea is that dgit push would do it for you. I guess a separate
command to send it would be fine, too.
I have heard allegations that for `3.0 (quilt)' debdiff produces diffs
of patches-unapplied trees, in which case I need to produce that for
the nmudiff, I guess. *sigh*
