A similar (but not written yet) policy applies to awk implementations.
Since all of them may have the role of /usr/bin/awk, which is essential,
we agreed to use a predependency for all of them.
However, it should not be required that they specifically predepend on
the *new* libc6. dpkg should ensure that no predependencies are
broken during an upgrade.
