Thanks for the update!

Not a *huge* deal, but this version should have perl added to native
inputs, as some tests now use "zipdetails" from perl, and are skipped if
it is not present. Or does something else pull in perl?

In general, checking the diff between the old diffoscope version and the
new version would reveal things like this, e.g. in tests/ you might look
for things like:

  -@skip_unless_tools_exist("zipinfo")
  +@skip_unless_tools_exist("zipinfo", "zipdetails")

Also, strange as it may sound, reading debian/changelog might also hint
at changes like this (which would be included in the diff between
versions)!
