Why do you think this is caused by diffutils? I see only "patch" going crazy.

Given that this is "patch", we will let it sit in ~arch a few days. But then we'll just move stable keywords.
I'm sorry about the wrong package. I recalled it was separate from diffutils but I wrongly assumed that would be patchutils, noticed I didn't have that and returned to blame diffutils ;-).
