Archlinux package does install man pages and info pages of gawk.
I did check the readme and found some information useful for a packager
(like targets for printing manuals in different formats) , but nothing
that stands out to me as useful for normal users.
What information in the readme do you and OP feel is useful and not
available through man / info pages ?
