I would prefer if, instead of instead of quoting the current text 
followed by the proposed text, something similar to a context diff were 
used instead, where appropriate.  Obviously, this can't be used for 
moving entire sections around, but if the changes are contained in one 
section, it makes it easier to see the changes in context.

I found it very hard to spot that you were proposing correcting 
"/usr/doc/copyright" to "usr/doc/<package>/copyright", when that change 
was buried in the middle of two otherwise identical paragraphs.  This 
is the type of thing a diff would have helped with.
