As the pdksh maintainer, I would like to veto having this package in the
distro simultaneously with pdksh (since this is a newer version of pretty
much the same package). In fact, I've been (slowly) working on preparing
a new release of pdksh that includes many of the mirbsd patches. I don't
mind obsoleting pdksh in favor of mksh, but we'll need to coordinate this.
Jari, you might want to review the pending complaints about pdksh to see
if they are fixed in your mksh version. I can send you a list (with links
to archives) if you're interested.
