Hi,
I get `Message Sequence Chart (chart)` when applying `file` to the
changelog of the `mscgen` package.
$ file mscgen/debian/changelog
mscgen/debian/changelog: Message Sequence Chart (chart)
$ head mscgen/debian/changelog
mscgen (0.20-14) unstable; urgency=medium
* Apply patch from Steve Langasek to avoid using negative
widths for text sizes in PNG files, which lead to crashes.
(Closes: #960405)
* Add patch to give more height to PNG text. The original
rendering no longer gave adequate space between lines or
the entity the text was a part of.
* Remove -Wl,--as-needed as linker flag since it is now the
default.
For other Debian changelogs, `file` seems to have a much more reasonable
output saying it is UTF-8 text.
"""
$ file debhelper/debian/changelog
debhelper/debian/changelog: Unicode text, UTF-8 text
"""
I suspect this is why `diffoscope` uses a `hexdump -C` based diff when
doing delta's for the `mscgen` changelog.
Best regards,
Niels
