I wonder, would a lintian check that greps for the string "gawk" in anything that looks like a script be accurate enough? Checking for hashbangs is no good as awk is often executed as one-liners in shell scripts. Would checking all text executables be reasonable? -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
