Package: ack-grep Version: 2.14-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
ack-grep fails to install pretending `/usr/bin/ack' is diverted by `/usr/bin/ack-grep' although the /usr/bin/ack file does not exist: $ apt-get install ack-grep Reading package lists...

The installation of the package works well on a freshly bootstrapped debian sid. Besides, I am not sure the diversion is still needed, since according to apt-file, ack-grep is the only package providing /usr/bin/ack.
