mawk (1.3.3-14) unstable; urgency=low

 * Build-Conflict with byacc, as the current version doesn't appear to be
   compatible with mawk; though we ought to fix the upstream build rules
   to not check for byacc first in this case, this is an ok fix for now.
   Closes: #509832.

The right fix is not to change the upstream build rules but to fix
upstream to build correctly with byacc. ;-)  The latest version from
invisible-island.net does, incidentally, though I can understand if
cherry-picking that fix is not the most urgent task in the world.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
