Okay, kinda like I thought.

I'm not sure if, for bash-completion, a Depends: gawk is warranted
from Package: mount, which has Priority: required. This would pull
in gawk on pretty much every system (...).

Carrying a local patch to revert the change doesn't sound
sustainable. I'm not an awk expert to come up with a patch that
would implement the same functionality for mawk.

Whats your viewpoint / your thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Chris
