Package: mksh, usrmerge
Severity: normal
Installing mksh on a system with usrmerge installed, that is,
/ merged into /usr fails:
update-alternatives: using /bin/mksh to provide /bin/ksh (ksh) in auto mode
update-alternatives: error: unable to install '/usr/bin/ksh.dpkg-tmp' as
'/usr/bin/ksh': No such file or directory
Which is obvious, because /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin.

I agree that we do not need an u-a change, since this bug only affects
two packages.
The maintainer scripts solution which was proposed earlier is definitely
buggy, but soon I will work on it.
