Title:
  Please sync mksh 58-1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

Status in mksh package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As indicated in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mksh/+bug/1867459 (the
  previous sync request during DebianImportFreeze), I’ve just released a
  new upstream version of mksh, which is virtually identical to what we
  already shipped in 57-7 in Debian, just rolling up the changes into a
  release, plus these new changes:

  mksh (58-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    * New upstream release
      - [tg] Improve code […] correctness
      - [multiplexd] Add vi mode PgDn, similar to PgUp doing history search
      - [tg] Build.sh fixup unreliable test -n / -z
      - [multiplexd] Correct documentation of vi mode @c
      - [tg] Update to UCD 13.0.0
      - [tg] Use nanoseconds in test -nt / -ot (LP#1855325)
    * Work around debhelper issue #908845 (Niels Thykier)
    * Update lintian overrides

  With my Debian Developer hat on, the benefit is having all these
  changes from 57-1 to 57-7 in the origtgz and a very minimal Debian
  diff. The package is leaf and has autopkgtests and an extensive
  testsuite, so the risk is minimal.

  With my upstream hat on, I’d prefer to have a formal release shipped
  for LTS.
