State-Changed-Why:  

There are at least two ways already to accomplish this. 
One is to just answer "d" to all the prompts. The other 
is to let it create the temproot, and kill it before 
it starts to compare (using -v helps for this). Then 
you can just do 'diff -ur / /var/tmp/temproot'. 

If you have something different in mind, please feel free 
to open a new PR with a patch, and I'll review it. 

Hope this helps, 

Doug
