There are two types of contributors: prospective Ubuntu developers and
drive-by contributors. For the former it is perfectly ok to request a
debdiff. They need to learn the tools. For the latter it is too much
overhead.

The argument for having a debdiff: In a debdiff you have a real name and
an email address. The patch author gets the credits.
