The kbuild NMU, which migrated on Jan. 12th, seems to have exposed a bug
in kmk_sed which is affecting the virtualbox build.  I've tried
rebuilding kbuild with Wheezy's gcc-4.6, since upstream indicates this
is a gcc-4.7-specific problem, but that didn't make a difference.

Reassigning to kbuild.

Cheers,
