Generally good, but I have remarks, see below.

Doesn't apply anymore after the 'null' removal.

We usually have single quotes around sed rules. Although not always
needed I feel they make it more readable. Also, are curly braces really
needed here?

See above.

Except for the above remarks I'm ok with this patch. But if you rework
the sed lines it's quite useless to add a reviewed-by and tested-by
tags, they won't apply to v2. And I didn't runtime test.
