gawk-script-but-no-gawk-dep
Packages that use gawk scripts must depend on the gawk package. If they don't need gawk-specific features, and can just as easily work with mawk, then they should be awk scripts instead.
In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or Recommends, will be more appropriate.
If the script is not meant to be executable, but meant to be consumed by other programs or are reserved for specific use, the script should be made non-executable.
