The former without the latter is just a lot of wasted work without any

I also agree that removing awk in the normal Debian distribution is a waste
of time.
If somebody wants to create a minimal container based on Debian, static
in nature, which does not need to be upgraded using apt, etc. there
are a lot of things that could be done before dropping awk, and those
things do not need to propagate to the normal distribution.
BTW: Replacing mawk with original-awk in installs might be a low-hanging
fruit to save 100kB in forky, having original-awk as only AWK
variant installed is already a supported configuration.
Yes, I was going to suggest that to those for which 263KB in a container
is too much.
Thanks.
