Steve wins, Dirk looses as Lintian tells me:
E: r-base-core: needlessly-depends-on-awk depends
N:
N: The package seems to declare a relation on awk. awk is a virtual
N: package, but it is special since it's de facto essential. If you don't
N: need to depend on a specific version of awk (which wouldn't work
N: anyway, as dpkg doesn't support versioned provides), you should remove
N: the dependency on awk.
N:
So I will back this out as far as the Depends goes, but keep the
Build-Depends.
I also reassign this back from r-base-dev.
Chris: You should adjust the offending package to do the same, i.e.
Build-Depends: [....] mawk | gawk | awk
on you should be set. All other R packages don't seem to care.
