[gNewSense-users] possible error in gen-kernel builder script

The gen-kernel builder script includes the following lines:
 
    # Changes so it'll compile without some modules
    for i in debian/d-i/modules/*; do
        sed -i 's/^\([[^ ?][^ ?]*\)$/\1 ?/' $i
    done
Is the sed command correct?  I think this is meant to look for every line that contains no spaces or question marks and append " ?" to the end of the line.  My regular _expression_ skills aren't great, but I think it should be:
 
        sed -i 's/^\([^ ?][^ ?]*\)$/\1 ?/' $i
(Removed the first square bracket.)  Without this change, I think it's expecting the first character to be "[", "^", " ", or "?", which I think is incorrect.
 
Can anyone clarify?
 
Thanks,
Whit Kemmey
