Sorry it took me so long, but I finally had some time yesterday evening to go
through the report!

I found 4 types of errors:

 1. `stat` reporting a different "Birth" for folders, which I assume are
    perfectly normal.
This is fine, you can use the option to ignore directory metadata from diffoscope output, so that this won't pollute the output.
 2. different paths for `python3.8` in the shebang of some scripts.
 3. different paths in prefix for `python3.8` (some origin as above).
3 and 2 should be investigated. Do you get these diffs even with grafts disabled?
 4. everything else is "Max report size reached"!
Should not be a problem, it shows the diff is too big. You have diffoscope options to increase that, but as problems are fixed the output should return to the normal range.

I don't really know where to go from here? Am I supposed to investigate
errors of type 4?!
