Bug#769349: grub-legacy: statically linked against libc6 without a Built-Using: field

Package: grub-legacy
Version: 0.97-69
Severity: serious
Tags: jessie-ignore

grub-legacy provides the following files which are statically linked
against libc6:
  /usr/bin/mbchk
  /usr/sbin/grub

According to Debian Policy §7.8 such a package MUST list the glibc
source package (and possibly others) in the Built-Using: field.

Note: While this is a serious policy violation, it has been agreed with
the release team that this is not a blocker bug for the Jessie release.
That's why the jessie-ignore tag is added. This makes this bug non RC.
