    Summary:
      Add support for displaying diffs using debconf itself
    Revision:
      ucf--devel--2.0--patch-2

    Users using a Graphical frontend are surprised when the display apparently
    just blocks when they ask to see a diff (or 3-way diff) of the
    configuration file being handled, when actually the diff is displayed on
    the terminal window ucf was run on. Until the debconf-escape utility and
    the escape CAPB support, db_subst ran into newline and line length
    issues. Patch from Michael Vogt.

    Closes: Bug#325576

    * ucf (show_diff): Added a function to show the diff using debconf

    * ucf (newsum): Use it
