Bug Description
If a file is updated which differs from the original file, the option to see the
difference between files i given.
This will show the diff between the installed file and the to-be-installed one.
The format is just like any diff file, and is not too clear for n00bs like me ;).
I was thinking showing the diff in a similar fashion as meld (two columns,
colours n stuff) might improve the overview of the changes.

Thanks for your bugreport.
Meld is something I would love to integrate. My idea was to let you speficiy a
(optional) external application that can do the diffing for you (like meld) :)
This is something for breezy (but it shouldn't be too hard to do).
Cheers,
Michael
