Almost all sed operations use the colon as separator in quilt. Fixing this
is not a single one-line patch that I'll just shove in Debian's quilt.

The work-around is easy, do not use colon in patch names. Thus the
severity is IMO inflated.

If you have the time to report it upstream, it could be helpful:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=quilt

If you do it, please let us now.
