I've also uploaded the .dsc to my PPA and looked over the build logs,
they look good.

Title:
  Please merge mksh 50e-2 (main) from Debian experimental (main)

Status in mksh package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mksh, pdksh

  Hi!

  Please merge the latest mksh version I will be uploading to Debian
  experimental shortly. It contains a new stable release plus today's
  security fix. It lands in experimental only due to the current freeze
  in Debian, but is otherwise suitable for a stable release.

  I’ll attach a debdiff against the last Ubuntu version, and the source
  package.

  Thanks!

  The new changelog entries are:

  mksh (50e-2ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=high

    * Merge from Debian (LP: #1429469), remaining changes:
      - Omit dietlibc builds on Ubuntu, where it is not in main
      - Maintainer change for Ubuntu
