mksh: MirBSD Korn Shell

 mksh is the successor of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh),
 a Bourne/POSIX compatible shell which is largely similar to the
 original AT&T Korn Shell (ksh88/ksh93).
 It includes bug fixes and feature improvements, in order to produce a
 modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use.
 mksh has UTF-8 support (in string operations and the Emacs editing
 mode). The code has been cleaned up and simplified, bugs fixed,
 standards compliance added, and several enhancements (for extended
 compatibility to other modern shells, as well as a couple of its
 own) are available.
 This shell is Debian Policy 10.4 compliant and may be used as /bin/sh
 on Debian systems (if udev is installed, /bin/lksh should be used;
 otherwise, both /bin/mksh-static and /bin/mksh flavours also work),
 and as rescue and initrd shell (/bin/mksh-static especially).
 .
 The mksh-static binary is a version of mksh, linked against klibc or
 dietlibc (if they exist for that Debian architecture and are usable)
 and optimised for small code size, for example for use on initrd or
 initramfs images, installation or rescue systems, or /bin/sh on slow
 architectures.
 It omits some leaf features to be even smaller.
 .
 The lksh binary is a script shell based on mksh intended to run old
 ksh88 and pdksh scripts, but not for interactive use.
 .
 A sample ~/.mkshrc is included in /usr/share/doc/mksh/examples and
 provided as /etc/mkshrc conffile, which is sourced by another file
 /etc/skel/.mkshrc users are recommended to copy into their home.

pdksh: transitional dummy package to migrate from pdksh to mksh

 The Public Domain Korn Shell "pdksh" is a mostly complete AT&T ksh
 look-alike, but has been superseded by mksh. This transitional dummy
 package exists to fulfil the needs of existing users, dependencies
 and build-dependencies by providing pdksh symlinks to the legacy
 flavour of mksh. You can safely remove it once you have no remaining
 users or scripts depending on pdksh any more (do make sure to check
 users' login shells).
 .
 Note: the mksh legacy flavour is not intended for interactive use.
 Please change your login shell to /bin/mksh and copy /etc/skel/.mkshrc
 to your home directory.
