Public bug reported:

grep(1) doesn't say anything about supporting \s to indicate whitespace but grep does support \s, both in basic, extended and perl mode, so \s is not the same as s, as you would expect from reading the manpage.
grep package version: 2.16-1

** Affects: grep (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
