Ok. My main goal is to make sure the mksh package is being
maintained. If it is, then there's no need for me to take it over.
I'll file a Debian bug to document the improvements I asked for, just
so something is being tracked. Whenever the new code is available,
I'll assume you can integrate it into Debian.
If you need my help integrating or testing changes, or if you
eventually change your mind about taking over the package, please let
me know.
Thanks,
KEN
