Bug Description

Please sync diffutils 1:3.5-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

diffutils is seeded in every Ubuntu flavor.

The new version adds a --color option (like git diff or ls --diff) (LP: #1486128)

Other changes can be seen at

If this FFe is approved, I would need sponsorship.

Changelog entries since current yakkety version 1:3.3-3:

diffutils (1:3.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Drop all patches, as none of them is required anymore.
  * There are now --color and --palette options. Closes: #396485.
  * Exit status of diff for binary files that differ is now 1, not 2,
    as mandated by POSIX. Closes: #737180.
  * Option --no-dereference is now documented in manpage. Closes: #804544.
