This report is an offshoot of bug#1029218.

When kernel modules are built in DKMS on two separate but identically-
configured systems, they appear to differ only in the portion of the
file corresponding to the module signature. Diffoscope does not
recognize this, and only shows a binary diff.

Attached is a tarball containing two sets of kernel module files,
recently built on a Debian unstable amd64 system, that illustrate the
problem when compared.

I've forwarded this 'upstream' to Salsa here:

This is to help us triage, comment and ultimately fix this issue more
effectively.
