Dear Debian xxdiff maintainers,

As seen in Britney testing migration excuses [1], this package needs another
source-only upload to be able to migrate to Testing. Please consider making
another upload.

Besides, it seems that the python team has shifted its plan and allow packages
that depends on python2 to stay in Debian 11 but any package that (build-
)depends on /usr/bin/python will have to be eliminated or migrated to use
/usr/bin/python2. I believe it is worthwhile to provide a patch to avoid the
usage of /usr/bin/python in xxdiff-scripts.
