From a quick look at it, one could think of:
- either improving debhelper's autoscript() so that it detects a sed
line which would be too long and deal with it.
- or switch {ADD,DEL}_{PACKAGE_ROOT} from scalars to lists, and
iterate over the contents manually, without invoking autoscript().
(The latter is about dh_installxmlcatalogs, looks more fragile, and
is probably more work than improving debhelper once and for all.)
Cc-ing debhelper maintainer(s) accordingly.
IOW, replying to the original request: I'm pretty sure it's fixable
before the wheezy release, doesn't look like a bug that should be
wheezy-ignored.
