Hi Guys,

Coming into this late ... and not having read the full story on the bug I'd
say that ...

... this happens at built time with configure. Just about everything does as
Kurt Hornik is an autoconf wizard.   Double-checking ...

Yup, looks like the GNU defaults.  Now, in debian/control

I never specified this even though a /ton/ of other programs are requested as
it was/is my understanding that one of these is build-essential.

And aren't they plug-and-play compatible?  Or does r-cran-maps require mawk
and not gawk?

I could enforce it via build-depends, but so could r-cran-maps. 

Does this help?
