Package: gawk
Version: 1:4.1.3+dfsg-0.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

There are a lot of reasons to have an awk interpreter. That doesn't mean I
want documentation of awk functions interfering with ordinary use of
man.

It's bad enough that there are a few pages that collide between
sections 1/8 and sections 2/3 without completely irrelevant additions.

Note that perl sidesteps the problem by having pages that mostly start
with a capital and contain a double-colon.
