Just FYI this specific version was fixing #248910.
I agree this can be removed as this condition is supported by all the
debian versions we have,
However I need to do a bit of digging on whether we need to have sed
as a dependency at all. It looks like this dependency wouldn't be
needed anymore after #687109 but I'll need to do some testing to
confirm.
Thanks,
Joseph
