Code review comment for ~ghadi-rahme/ubuntu/+source/ppa-purge:ubuntu/devel

gawk has a much heavier footprint than mawk:

gawk:
Installed-Size: 1.778 kB
Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34), libgmp10 (>= 2:6.2.1+dfsg1), libmpfr6 (>= 3.1.3), libreadline8 (>= 6.0), libsigsegv2 (>= 2.9)

mawk:
Installed-Size: 275 kB
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.36)

Since ppa-purge is seeded in some flavors:
$ seeded-in-ubuntu ppa-purge
ppa-purge (from ppa-purge) is seeded in:
  kubuntu: daily-live
  ubuntu-budgie: daily-live
  ubuntu-unity: daily-live
  ubuntustudio: dvd

This would affect their dependency tree, late in the cycle (we are post-beta in noble now).

Is there a way to not use gawk's -i option, and stick to the feature set of mawk? Or perhaps just use sed instead?
