Exactly, the issue here is whether we should make base-files to depend on awk or not. Somebody told me there was an agreement to do that, and I believed it, so I changed base-files. However, now I'm unable to find the discussion in the archives. Perhaps it took place before December 1996 (when I joined Debian). Does somebody remembers this discussion?
