Package: src:vgabios
Version: 0.8a+ds-2
Tags: patch
Dear maintainer:
I noticed that vgabios build-depends on gawk | awk.
This build-dependency may be dropped because awk is essential,
in the sense that a version of awk is always guaranteed to be present
on the system (this was implemented in base-files version 1.7, a long
time ago, to avoid dependencies and build-dependencies on awk).
Trivial patch attached.
(Note: I've also built the package using original-awk, and the resulting .debs
are byte-by-byte identical).
Thanks.
