yes, this is documented in NEWS.Debian in both packages.

I had considered that, but creating a ksh-common package for just
one file, which in addition to that is a skeleton file that is not
used during normal operation, just adduser, seems overkill. The
sequence of installing both then removing one is also expected to
occur only rarely, most users would either install one, or both,
and then keep that. I had thought that that with the Replaces on
the other packages would be sufficient.
Is it possible to make an exception here, considering the file in
question and that it is documented?
Thanks in advance,
