Bug#519268: lintian: same problem in mksh, but with a twist
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.8
Severity: normal
E: mksh: diversion-for-unknown-file $2 postinst:16
E: mksh: package-uses-local-diversion postinst:24
E: mksh: package-uses-local-diversion prerm:16
E: mksh: orphaned-diversion $2 postinst
I have the same problem (although I'm not exactly sure about
the middle two ones, probably have to add the same --package
which I used in creating it? on the other hand, mksh and dash
share this, so it's even more difficult), but with a twist:
it's dynamic.
https://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/hosted/tg/deb/mksh/debian/mksh.postinst
will show you the current "state of the art"; like I said, the
code itself originated from dash...

As you can see, it'd probably have to be overridden,
unless this whole diversion-for-/bin/sh thing gets
cleaned up (I already suggested to use the scheme the
debconf handbook recommends for the default window
manager, but didn't get much response from the dash
maintainers) by someone who actually understands this
stuff well.
