Bug#958271: Excessive memory use when comparing linux debug packages

Package: diffoscope Version: 141 Severity: normal Comparing two versions of linux-image-5.5.0-trunk-amd64-dbg causes diffoscope to use up about 13 GiB of VM, and then crash because it still wants more: $ TMPDIR=/var/tmp diffoscope --max-diff-block-lines-saved 1000 --text dummy.diffoscope
