bug#28758: address@hidden: Update to at least revision 44704 to address bug in latexdiff

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

I have downloaded TeX Live repository but unfortunatelly I found out
that the directory structure of the repository is different than the
release's.

An option would be to make latexdiff into a separate package, with
a name such as "texlive-texmf-scripts-latexdiff", and take the source
from either latexdiff CTAN page ([1]) or their development repository
([2]) and in either case remove the latexdiff from the "texlive-texmf"
package. But in this option, I don't know if latexdiff would need other
parts of TeX Live to be updated in order to work correctly.
