The fix for the first and the last will be to just bail in Lintian if
there are variables on the dpkg-divert and not assume we know what people
are doing. I'll get that into the next release.
The middle two appear to be related to this code:
false)
if [ -n "$div" ] && [ -z "${div%%*by mksh}" ]; then
mv $distrib $2
dpkg-divert --remove $2
fi
If I remember my weird pattern substitutions correctly, you're already
checking that mksh is the owner of the diversion, so it should be
completely safe to add --package mksh to that dpkg-divert --remove
invocation. It's actually slightly safer to do so since it avoids a race
condition.
