Is there a Debian package similar to xmldiff:

That will output the "logical differences" between two xml files?
Or something that formats XML in a uniform way so diff would be useful?

This is more of a -user question, but only devs would know:
My dh_make -generated debian/control and debian/rules uses dh_shlibdeps
to automatically generate the Depends: line, which rocks.
Do I have to manually specify the Build-Depends line, or can it be
automatically generated as well?
