Package: ftp.debian.org

diff is now a dummy package in unstable, so:

The extra priority tells the user and tools like debootstrap that it
is not a package that one wants to install on a new system.

The oldlibs section tells tools like deborphan that the package may be
removed as soon as no other package depend on it.

That way, the following commands

apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
dpkg --purge `deborphan`

install diffutils and then remove diff in a completely smooth way.

Thanks.
