Bug#705806: release-notes: Small clarification for the mksh transition section
Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

not too clear as it's not obvious what that “lksh” is. Just adding the
command name when presenting the transtional package seems to work.

as it contains behaviour-changing bugfixes it is not a pure drop-in
