I have no ksh, but /usr/bin/ksh still appears in /etc/shells (which is
where chsh gets its idea of which shells are valid)... it strikes me
that perhaps it ought to be the responsibility of the shell packages
to register themselves in /etc/shells (although shipping a version
which correctly lists all shells Debian supports would certainly be
adequate).
