Please merge mksh 52c-1 (main) from Debian testing (main)

[Thorsten Glaser]

Binary package hint: mksh, pdksh

Please merge the latest version of src:mksh from Debian (it already migrated to testing). This also finally removes the “pdksh” transitional package, the transition having been done for *buntu in trusty.

I’ve attached debdiffs against last Ubuntu upload (hard to read, considering it’s a new upstream version), latest Debian (trivial to read), and the complete source package.

New changelog entries:

mksh (52c-1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=high

  * Merge from Debian (LP: #1560008), remaining changes:
    - Omit dietlibc builds on Ubuntu, where it is not in main
    - Maintainer change for Ubuntu
