I reviewed both debdiffs manually again, they look good to me.

Title:
  Please merge mksh 50c-1 (main) from Debian sid (main)

Status in “mksh” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mksh, pdksh

  Hi!

  Please merge the latest mksh version from Debian sid (it’s going into
  testing → jessie RSN, too, and I plan to backport it as well; I’m the
  Debian maintainer as well as upstream).

  I’ll attach a debdiff against Debian and one against the last Ubuntu
  version.

  Thanks!

  The new changelog entries are:

  mksh (50c-1) unstable; urgency=high

    * New upstream security release:
      - [tg] Know more rare signals when generating sys_signame[] replacement
      - [tg] OpenBSD sync (mostly RCSID only)
      - [tg] Document HISTSIZE limit; found by luigi_345 on IRC
      - [zacts] Fix link to Debian .mkshrc
      - [tg] Cease exporting $RANDOM (Debian #760857)
      - [tg] Fix C99 compatibility
      - [tg] Work around klibc bug causing a coredump (Debian #763842)
      - [tg] Use [197]issetugid(2) as additional check if we are FPRIVILEGED
      - [tg] SECURITY: do not permit += from environment
      - [tg] Fix more field splitting bugs reported by Stephane Chazelas and
        mikeserv; document current status wrt. ambiguous ones as testcases too
    * Policy 3.9.6, no changes
    * Use klibc on x32 again, to be binNMUable, and since it works good enough
    * Update lintian overrides

  mksh (50b-1) unstable; urgency=high

    * Bring back accidentally lost changelog entry for version 49-2
    * Note what was actually imported from CVS in the 50-4 changelog
    * Disable klibc builds on x32 for now, they’re essentially amd64
    * New upstream version; remaining change:
      - [tg, Jb_boin] Relax overzealous nameref RHS checks
    * Update /etc/skel/.mkshrc with example how to force UTF-8
    * Fix gitweb URL in README.Debian
    * Urgency high due to script regression since 50-1
    * Add NEWS entry for mksh script language changes in 50-1
