Latest grep version in Debian/git seems to be failing on uptream
tests. Snippet of failures below.

See full log at https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/jobs/10389863

I am reporting this because this failure is affecting the CI of Salsa
CI's own self-test pipeline, where grep is used as one of the canary
packages.
