needlessly-depends-on-awk



Hello.

Around February 1998 it was decided that we would make awk essential
and virtual. For this to happen, it was agreed that base-files (an
essential package) would have a dependency on awk.

As of today, base-files is currently the only package in the archive
which, according to lintian, "needlessly-depends-on-awk", but, as
explained, this is ok for base-files.

What would be the right procedure to avoid lintian warn on such thing?

Thanks.
