Good catch.  I don't believe sed has a construct like perl's \Q...\E
for using an arbitrary replacement string, but using a different
delimiter (like | or ,) in the sed expression might be close enough.

Care to write a patch?  It works like this:

 # apt-get build-dep chromium-browser; apt-get install devscripts git
 $ debcheckout chromium-browser
 $ cd chromium-browser
 ... hack hack hack ...
 $ git diff >patch

Thanks for reporting,
Jonathan
