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.
