tags 307683 -sid
thanks
Yes I was able to reproduce this bug with the package in sarge and yes,
I explicitely mentioned this in my email to the BTS.
Is there any way to stop Steve from blindly adding wrong "sid" tags to
bugs only for letting his RC bugs metric look better?

This sounds like a good solution.

Why do you call a system without mawk installed seriously broken?
That's a perfectly legal setup (and it works fine on my computer since
more than 5 years).
