Thanks, Robie. That was my suspicion, and also why I 1) Verified in a PPA prior 
to upload, 2) Verified the tarball was correct prior to upload, and 3) Verified 
the tarball was correct after upload. Everything looks correct this time 
around.

It would be nice if debdiffs weren't blind to symlinks and that they could see 
if there was a change from a symlink to an actual file, but I'm not sure how 
that would get implemented.
