That diff appears to be between the git branches, rather than the
generated packages. Would it be possible to have a source debdiff
between your base and the package you're planning to upload?

Part of the reason that we request a debdiff rather than a VCS diff is
that they can often reveal unexpected differences, for instance due to
build system differences. In this case, the diff between the source
package in bullseye and that uploaded to buster-backports includes 128
generated files under debian/, which shouldn't really be in the source
package.

How did that go?
