busybox also provides sed if CONFIG_SED is enabled.
I'm wondering whether it's necessary to insert dependency here.
If so, then I think other packages which provide init scripts may also rdepend on 'busybox' or 'coreutils' which provide basic commands like 'chown' or 'sed'.

aha... I missed that busybox could provide sed... I would like to do some sort of rdepends on busybox or sed (because coreutils does not provide the sed command).

However, I only want sed if busybox isn't present and vice versa is there a way to do this?
