Package: devscripts
Version: 2.8.14
Severity: normal

Hello Julian,

debdiff of 2 .dsc files with different tarball is broken:

$ debdiff menu_2.1.24.dsc menu_2.1.25.dsc 2>&1
diff: /tmp/fWjfYmyUqt/menu_2.1.24.tar.gz: No such file or directory
diff: /tmp/S3txZIh6aP/menu_2.1.25.tar.gz: No such file or directory

Apparently, this bug is caused by the latest version of dpkg-dev which
change the output of 'dpkg-source -x': it used to be

It used to be
% dpkg-source -x teapop_0.3.7-3.dsc
dpkg-source: extracting teapop in teapop-0.3.7

but it is now
% dpkg-source -x teapop_0.3.7-3.dsc
dpkg-source: extracting teapop in teapop-0.3.7
dpkg-source: unpacking teapop_0.3.7.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: applying ./teapop_0.3.7-3.diff.gz

Probably a more robust way to find the name of the directory is in
order. Given you unpack in an empty tempdirr, you could just use
readdir to find the name of the directory created.

Cheers,
