--- Begin Message ---Package: debianutils Version: 4.8.6.1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, add-shell uses the following construct to ensure that the last line of /etc/shells contains a newline: if ! awk '{print}' "$file" > "$tmpfile" I'd like to request that it be changed to if ! grep '' "$file" > "$tmpfile" awk causes some issues during bootstrapping a new system as it requires the use of update-alternatives to create the necessary symlink. grep doesn't have this issue meaning that, for example, installing dash no longer depends on awk being configured first. Additionally doing this would be another step to removing awk from the Essential: yes set.
