IMHO this is subject of the `sed` package and its maintainer(s), because
of experience, documentation they may have know better.

As Marc noted there:

| This looks like a sed or libc issue for me:

Thus, this bug.

But lets look closer to `update-exim4.conf'. That *ASCII* checking routine
doesn't set LANG=C and LC_ALL=C before its processing, and this is a bug
instead.
