Hello,
Wouldn't it be better to keep this updated diffutils out of sarge
until diff-doc has been uploaded (and accepted) to non-free? By
letting diffutils (2.8.1-8) _now_ into sarge we run a real chance of
shipping diff in sarge without documentation.

I realize this is more a question to the maintainer than to -release,
- the release team probably does not want to be drawn too deep into
discussions on the consequences of 2004/vote_004.
