Package: diffutils
Version: 1:2.8.1-18
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.6.1

Hello,

I've added 'unstable' in my sources.list for some *noarch packages and after
the last dist-upgrade the 'diffutils' package was installed due to being
'Essential: yes'. However, I realized that this package is not a part of
lenny and I uninstalled. The problem is that the binary '/usr/bin/diff' is
now missing but is a part of 'diff=2.8.1-12' from lenny too.

In conclussion something is missing from 'diffutils' to force uninstall or
upgrade of diff<=2.8.1-12 from lenny. I don't know if Breaks: or Conflict:
is more appropriate for this configuration.

Thanks
