Lintian tag: needlessly-depends-on-awk

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The package seems to declare a relation on awk. awk is a virtual package,
but it is special since it's de facto essential. If you don't need to
depend on a specific version of awk (which wouldn't work anyway, as dpkg
doesn't support versioned provides), you should remove the dependency on
awk.
