Hi,
Debdiff's handling of files that do not end on \.(u?deb|dsc|changes)$ is:
a) undocumented
b) bogus, as one may end up comparing a .changes and a .deb
"b)" can be triggered by running:
debdiff deb_file_that_doesn\'t_end_in_common_exts a.changes
`file $ARGV[0]` =~ /Debian/ (in line 321) sets $type to 'deb', but the check
for the second file doesn't fail because there's an incorrect exclusion:
unless ($type eq 'deb' and `file $ARGV[0]` =~ /Debian/) {
I guess the second call to file(1) was meant to check $ARGV[1],
Cheers,
