Fixed in git. I switched to /usr/bin/awk. As I understand the bug report, this comes from the fact that the configure somehow detects that gawk is present on the build daemon, and decides to hardcode /usr/bin/gawk in the package. My goal was to prevent such "cleaver" action at build time so that the package really don't depend on a specific variant of awk. /etc/alternatives was indeed "suboptimal", and I hope that now that I forced the use of the raw /usr/bin/awk, it will work for everybody (several bugs around awk were reported in the past).
