Bug#544478: grub-legacy: should depend on diffutils

Package: grub-legacy
Version: 0.97-56
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
List-CC: diffutils at packages.debian.org

During a new installation using D-I of testing today I got:
   /usr/sbin/grub-install: 400: cmp: not found

cmp is from the recently renamed diffutils, which is no longer required 
and essential and thus cmp can no longer be relied on to be available.

The only strange thing here is that the new pakage has not yet migrated to 
testing, but I guess the overrides have already been changed (which are 
the same for unstable and testing).
