Public bug reported:

This change is not a feature change. It deals with adding entries in
/usr/bin/ to /etc/shells to match the entries in /bin because graphical
privilege escalation tools can otherwise get the wrong path due to
usrmerge and deny operation. It additionally enables more executables
built as position-independent code (only on architectures where I tested
this).

I’ve uploaded that to Debian and tested it on my PPA as well (modulo
armhf, which I believe is waiting for the debugedit rebuilt against
libelf1t64 to leave proposed and enter a pocket which the Launchpad
buildds actually use).


d/changelog for the delta:

mksh (59c-37) unstable; urgency=medium

I believe the changes to the upstream portion of the package in -35 to be 
unproblematic, they mostly deal with things like the OpenWatcom compiler or 
better C++ support in a supporting library (mksh does not use C++).

I’m just a Debian Developer, so this needs sponsoring.
