Bug Description
Binary package hint: sed
sed 4.1.5-8 - intrepid
The current version of sed appears to support the I modifier: adding /I to a search pattern allows for case insensitive search. Unfortunately, the man page does not document the existence of the flag.

I'd agree, but it is documented in the info page and being a GNU app they tend to prefer leaving the man pages pretty sparse and putting stuff in the info page (and to be fair the man page does point to the info page).
I'd rather see it added to the man page.
