Cyril,
	Sorry I did not look in more detail at this earlier. Tristan Hill
<stan at saticed.me.uk> suggested another plausible solution - writing
the sed insructions to a temporary file and passing the file to sed
via the -f argument.

	Anyway it definitely looks to me like the bug should be fixed in
debhelper rather than xml-core. So I am reassigning it.

	Since this prevents upgrading at least one package I would stick by
the severity, but unless you're willing to let upgrades for
w3c-sgml-lib and w3c-markup-validator through I am  not aware of any
rush to fix it. That's why I thought  a wheezy-ignore tag was
appropriate.
