[Reproducible-builds] Bug#808003: diffoscope: Comparing directories shouldn't care about file order

[Mike Hommey]

Source: diffoscope
Version: ada1a1dcdc19217fb611e0a1e57bc3744399aefa
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Comparing two directories

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Ran `diffoscope --html output.html a b` where a and b are directories containing
more or less the same thing.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The output contained differences in the output for find due to
filesystem-dependent behavior wrt file ordering in readdir(3).

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The sorted list should be compared instead.
