Since sed supports pretty much any arbitrary character as a separator, we could use something other than the '/' character, which would alleviate the need for users to escape it. I'm attaching a patch that uses '%' instead, as it doesn't seem to occur as often as '/' does.
Any thoughts on including this patch in the next package upload for squeeze? We have an upload (6.0.28-7) ready to go that includes the Czech debconf translation. Thank you, tony
