I have been surprised at how much effort has gone into "diffoscope" as a total fraction of the Reproducible Builds effort. Perhaps it is a case akin to the drunk looking for his keys under the streetlight where he can see, rather than in the dark where he dropped them. (It's easier to hack diffoscope than to hack thousands of irreproducible packages.) I for one am happy that diffoscope DOESN'T have support for umpteen disk partitioning schemes and file system formats.
