Bug#1077647: lprng: Drop redundant build-dependency on mawk | gawk



Package: src:lprng
Version: 3.8.B-8
Tags: patch

Dear maintainer:

I noticed that lprng build-depends on mawk | gawk.

This build-dependency may be dropped because the package actually needs "awk",
and 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 lprng using original-awk, and the resulting .debs
are byte-by-byte identical).

Thanks.
