Let's work out how we can do this, and then we can look at implementing it. I would like it to be an operation done entirely within bzr if possible (there are already ways to do it with source packages). What we want to do is compare the old packaged with its upstream version, and then compare that with the changes from the new upstream to the new packaged source. I don't think bzr has any special facilities for interdiffs right now? In that case we could start by generating those two diffs and piping them to interdiff. Getting the diffs themselves is relatively straightforward. What should the command be? Just an option to diff? diff-upstream? How much would you want to be able to tweak things beyond the default of showing the differences between the last two versions in debian/changelog?
