Bug Description

The sed 4.8-1 package currently in proposed is failing to migrate due to a failing test on armhf. The patch added in 4.7-1ubuntu1 is still required to work around this, and the attached debdiff restores this.

The patch has been applied upstream to gnulib (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=175e0bc72808d564074c4adcc72aeadb74adfcc6) but sed upstream has not yet bumped the version of gnulib that it vendors in (or more precisely has not made a release since bumping its version of gnulib; 4.8 predates that).

The patch itself simply disables the non-portable tests which is not exactly ideal, but given it's what upstream's gone with we ought to follow suit.
