Would it be possible for us to get a Hangout together with Andrej (and any other required Debian Java team members) and whoever at Google is in a decision-making position about which version of diffutils are being used? Maybe if we get everyone together we can figure out a reasonable way forward that will work for everyone. At worst, we can implement a possible Bazel patch from Andrej just in Debian. That would resolve this issue by allowing us to use the newer library that is already in Debian but I prefer not deviating from upstream if we don't have to... It seems like we should be able to come to a consensus solution here if we can get the right people to have a conversation. -Olek
