Five years since the bug asking to upload new mawk in Debian didn't change anything, so, I'm reporting bug in Ubuntu - sticking to 1.3.3 is now causing headeach to lots of people rather than saving from regressions, see for example bug #1005077 :( Please, update mawk package before major Ubuntu 16.04 LTS release.
