Re: can't get sed script into makefile

[Johan Bezem]

I'm not exactly an sed expert, but you might consider labelling the expressions 
with the option -e, like:
 sed -e "s/^Build-Depends: .*$$/\0, libldap-dev/" \
     -e "s/^Package: bind9$$/\0-sdb-ldap/" \
     -e "...
That way, make's substitution of newlines with whitespace in one large string 
does not affect sed's separation of commands.
Alternately, since you do not need special make-specific variables or such, you might 
consider packing all the commands into a single file (using normal newlines, nothing 
to be escaped), and using 'sed -f <command-file>' with identical IO-redirection.

HTH,
