Apparently. From debdiff(1):
If debdiff is passed two source packages (.dsc files) it will
compare the contents of the source packages. If the source packages
differ only in Debian revision number (that is, the .orig.tar.gz files
are the same in the two .dsc files), then interdiff(1) will be used to
compare the two patch files if this program is available on the
system, otherwise a diff will be performed between the two source
trees.
