Whoops, apologies for the premature suggestion. Indeed, it seems like I was confused in the past: http://bugs.debian.org/893324 … leading me to add that exact line: https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/commit/0da118a131f95811c158c5d47e4d620d01a233ea One option here would be to extend the --exclude-directory-metadata option to ignore metadata inside archive formats too rather than create a new, separate, option.
