Sure:

        Acquire { Pdiffs false; };

or 

        Acquire::Pdiffs false;

in /etc/apt/apt.conf. See the man page for apt.conf for more details.

They are generated by the 'reportbug' tool. Usually this is done when a
new bug is reported, but you can use 'reportbug' to followup to an
existing bug report by starting to report a new bug against the same
package, then picking the target bug from the list of already-reported
bugs.
