debdiff does not compare binary packages, it compares the source. > It attempts to get as much information as possible from files.

The way I always use debdiff is: apt-get source foo cd foo-1.2 dch -v1.2-1.1 <make changes> cd ../ dpkg-source -b foo-1.2 Now, there will be two .dsc files, for -1 and -1.1, so you feed both to debdiff.
