This is fixed with 4.2.1, where upstream implemented this feature (see NEWS):
-------------------8<------------------------
Sed 4.2
..
* new option --follow-symlinks, available when editing a file in-place.
This option may not be available on some systems (in this case, the
option will *not* be a no-op; it will be completely unavailable).
In the future, the option may be added as a no-op on systems without
symbolic links at all, since in this case a no-op is effectively
indistinguishable from a correct implementation.
------------------->8------------------------
--follow-symlinks was due ck_follow_symlink defined by
sed-follow_symlinks.patch.
Harald, Stanislav, Christian: do you think I should try to examine old versions
to fix it there or is it enough to have this fixed in Factory?
