You asked for the patched sources difference as I understood - not to include noise with the patch changes under the debian directory. Let me try to explain the current situation again. Current ICU version in Sid is 63.2-2 which adds Reiwa support over the current version in Buster. The startup speed regression fix is _not_ present in this package version. It would break the mentioned three source packages due to the ABI change. The affected packages are binNMU-able, but the current Chromium package is not ready to migrate to Buster and you can't binNMU its Buster version. That's why it is only _planned_ for 63.2-3 which is _not_ yet uploaded. Hope I could describe the current situation better.
