Hi,
Looking back at my interaction on this thread, and looking
again at the changelog, I have come to the realization that I have
been making an ass of myself out here.
Santiago, please accept my apologies. You were not in the
wrong, and definitely did not deserve the flammage you got from me.
In conclusion, I think we do need awk to be an essential
package, and failing a mechanism to mark a virtual package essential,
I think base-files should again depend on awk.
Combined with the other proposal, that all essential package
exclusively use pre-depends rahter than pure depends, this would mean
that base-files should pre-depend on swk.
