Package: tiger
Justification: Policy 3.5
Severity: serious

Hi.

Tiger depends on diff,... which it should probably not:
Packages are not required to declare any dependencies they have on other
packages which are marked Essential (see below), and should not do so
unless they depend on a particular version of that package.[8]

Not sure if the >=2.0 is particular enough ;)

The problem is also, that diff is now a transitional package, and if
tiger really has to depend on diff, it should move to diffutils.


Regards,
Chris.
