There are a bunch of things in the diff file, such as the TODO file,
which were "added" because at one point someone at Ubuntu choose to
start by grabbing an snapshot of the e2fsprogs git tree and used that as
a starting point.   The TODO file is in the git tree, but it is stripped
out of the release tarballs because it is just notes to myself that will
likely become obsolete after the release cut.

Feel free to drop the TODO file.  All of the Makefile.pq files should
also be dropped.   Those were used for building a special Windows
version of the e2fsprogs library and core utilities for PowerQuest, the
makers of Partition Magic.   They have no use whatsoever on any Linux
build of e2fsprogs, and were included in the Ubuntu debdiff for the same
reason; they were in the git tree, and are stripped as part of the
release tar.gz build, and the Canonical packager just included random
stuff without understanding what they did.
