Actually, investigating the situation a bit more, there appears to be
a bug in apt. base-files depends only on awk; although gawk is also
installed earlier, apt doesn't seem to realize that awk is provided by
gawk as well as mawk so that it's ok to remove mawk.

I can also no longer reproduce the error with
apt-get install gawk- mawk- original-awk -s
on my machine and the bug itself is open for
more than a year with this assumption.
I am therefore closing this bug now,
but feel free to reopen it if you disagree.
Best regards,
David Kalnischkies
