The 'Pre-Depends: awk' is superfluous. Package coreutils:
Essential: yes
Priority: required
already privides 'tail' and 'cut' (smaller canons, compared to 'awk') that
can do the same job at a lower cost :)

The 'Pre-Depends: awk' is superfluous.
This is not a bug. base-files Pre-Depends on awk precisely to ensure
that "awk" is essential.
The essential status of awk was decided more than 13 years ago.
