Hi Gregor,

Thanks for request to improve Debian buster.

The changes you highlighted might be relevant for us.  However, the full
debdiff has too much noise to do an evaluation.  Could I have you
provide a filtered debdiff where you remove translations and
auto-generated?  Please also include the filterdiff command used so we
know what we are not reviewing.  When you have uploaded, please remove
the moreinfo tag.

Thanks,
~Niels
