Package: sed
Version: 4.1.4-5
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hi,
sed fails to build with this error:

mv /builds/sed-4.1.4/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/sed.html
/builds/sed-4.1.4/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/sed/
mv: cannot stat `/builds/sed-4.1.4/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/sed.html':
No such file or directory
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1

after some investigation the reason is two-fold:

./configure lacks --enable-html (which defaults to "no")

compiling with --enable-html leads sed.html into:

debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/sed-4.1.4/sed.html

thus the mv is wrong, sed.html is the only file ending up in
usr/share/doc/sed-4.1.4 so I suspect it is some trickery by
autoconf/autotools

thanks,
filippo
