Recent high precision experimental data for heavy-ion fusion reactions at subbarrier energies systematically show that a surprisingly large surface diffuseness parameter for a Woods-Saxon potential is required in order to fit the data. We point out that experimental data for quasi-elastic scattering at backward angles also favor a similar large value of surface diffuseness parameter. Consequently, a double folding approach fails to reproduce the experimental excitation function of quasielastic scattering for the $^{16}$O + $^{154}$Sm system at energies around the Coulomb barrier. We also show that the deviation of the ratio of the quasielastic to the Rutherford cross sections from unity at deep subbarrier energies offers an unambiguous way to determine the value of the surface diffuseness parameter in the nucleus-nucleus potential.
