Package: heartbeat
Version: 1:3.0.5-3
Severity: minor

After #512403 heartbeat depends on both gawk and mawk, and that is
not necessary.

First of all, IPaddr seems to no longer use $AWK.

But in any case, depending on both gawk and mawk wouldn't have
been required:

If all awk inplementations in Debian are good enough for heartbeat
(original-awk is the most limited one), then the dependencies on both
gawk and mawk can be dropped after putting an
  export AWK=awk
at the top of debian/rules (see the documentation for AC_PROG_AWK in
autoconf's info page).

If not all awk implementations are good enough, then pick
one (e.g. gawk) and.
- build depend on gawk,
- depend on gawk and
- "export AWK=gawk" at the top of debian/rules
