Thorsten,
I'm not trying to be snarky here, but I'm a little lost. This package
is orphaned. If you're no longer the package maintainer, why should
it even matter to you whether upstream issues are tracked as Debian
bugs?
I filed the bug so nothing would get lost while the package is
orphaned, which seems like a reasonable thing to do. The next
maintainer might very well have a different policy for Debian bugs
than you did. I would if it were my package.
Besides that, this is arguably a functional regression vs. older
versions of pdksh in Debian, which mksh now provides. I think it's
useful to have the change in behavior noted, even if it is only a
wishlist.
