Yeah, but it’s not eligible for that in Debian, as Debian guarantees
the usability of “local” even for /bin/sh scripts. I wrote about that
already, IIRC even in this thread.

Yuk, Solaris abomination.

/bin/ksh is handled via the alternatives system in Debian.
If AT&T ksh93 is installed (and pdksh/mksh are not), it’s
always /bin/ksh (otherwise, it’s the admin’s choice).

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
