Package: sed
Version: 4.2.1-2
Severity: serious

The Downgrade from Pre-Depends to Depends in this version is not
correct, please revert it.  Essential packages must work even when only
unpacked (see Policy ยง 3.8), and the only way to ensure that libraries
required by sed are present after unpacking it is to Pre-Depend on them.

This is aggravated by the fact that the libc6 preinst uses sed, which
has the potential to leave the system in an un-upgradable state if sed
is unpacked before libc6.
