Ok, I didn't know that, sorry. That was my first tpu upload, previous
uploads were all into unstable.

Well, I have decided to go ahead with the upload since the current
maintainer of the package has given up the package for adoption
anyways due to lack of time and the complexity of the package.
Furthermore, he said the problem was a bit too complex for him (not
meaning to diminish his work, I am just repeating his words).

Yes, the bug is present in the unstable version:
$ echo $KSH_VERSION
Version AJM 93u+ 2012-06-28
$ cd /etc
$ pwd
/etc
$ cd ..
$ pwd
/etc
$
However, it has been fixed in the latest upstream version tagged as
version "2012-08-24". So I suggest unblocking my updated version for
testing and then the original maintainer should update the unstable
version to the latest upstream version.
Cheers,
Adrian
