Oops.
(I do usually run debdiff, but either there's a bug in the current
version in unstable or I did something wrong, because it didn't show
that)

No.
I have my upstream and debian branches in the same git repository, and
switch between upstream and Debian development by way of a 'git
checkout'. There's been a bit of reorganization in the upstream branch,
where the manpages are being put in their own directory. That's where
the difference comes from. The Makefile{,.in} was regenerated from the
Debian branch, though, so the man directory isn't actually being used --
it's just cruft, as are stamp-h2 and typescript.
The manpage difference in the root directory is because the .in files
are generated from SGML sources, which means that the date on the
manpage isn't the same anymore. Other than that, there isn't any
difference.
So, yes, the only actually relevant changes, that actually end up in a
binary package, are in the Spanish translation.
Cruft in packages is ugly, though, so let me upload a -6 without it;
please allow that to migrate.
