Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.61
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to be able to diff only the debian packaging files and
debian changes when comparing two source packages. Suppose you have a new
upstream version but you only want to review the packaging changes and not
the upstream changes...

With 3.0 (quilt) source packages, this option coud avoid unpacking the
full source package, it could unpack only the debian tarballs and diff
them.

With 1.0 source packages and this option, it can do interdiff even if the
upstream version differs.

I don't know what's the best name for this option, among possibilities
there are --debian, --debian-dir, --debian-files, --packaging, etc.

Cheers,
 Raphael H.
