The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
version `65`. This version includes the following changes:

```
[ Chris Lamb ]
* Avoid unpacking packages twice when comparing .changes. (Closes: #843531)
* Add a simple profiling framework (enabled via --profile) which tracks:
  - Container extraction, opening and closing times.
  - The "compare_files" top-level/recursive method.
  - The time taken to produce the various output formats.
  - All "has_same_content_as" and "recognizes" methods.
  - External commands that wrap "@tool_required".
  - External commands that use "make_feeder_from_command".
  - The internal/external "cmp" methods.
  - Some manual calls to subprocess.check_output().
* Tidy log messages:
  * Clarify the meaning of the compare_files and Binary.has_same_content
    debug messages.
  * Skip low-value "X is already specialized" message.
  * Correct "instantiating" typo.

[ Emanuel Bronshtein ]
* Use ssh-keygen for comparing OpenSSH public keys
* Remove inline styles from col elements
