queue-viewer *does* flag maintainer-built binaries, albeit not with a
big flashing siren. The "architectures" column for a package in (o)pu-
new lists those present, and should usually list "source" (excepting
syncs from security.d.o, obviously).
If you check the entry for diffoscope there, you will notice that it
doesn't list any binaries. Indeed there are no diffoscope binary
packages currently in stable-new, just the source.

That was simple human error. For some reason I thought that there had
been a trip through NEW involved, but I was clearly mistaken.
