Bug#686247: debdiff exits with wrong exit code (regression after security update)

[Nikolaus Schulz]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.69+squeeze2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

As of devscripts 2.10.69+squeeze2 in squeeze and (judging from the
changelog) 2.11.4 in sid, debdiff returns an exit code 1 when it finds
no differences between binary packages.

Note that this is a regression in squeeze, and breaks scripts relying on
the debdiff exit code.

Trivial patch is attached.

PS. I'm forwarding this from the mailing list to the BTS so that it
    doesn't get ignored.
