Package: ksh
Version: 93u+20120801-2
Severity: normal
ksh currently ships the following files:
$ dpkg -c ksh_93u+20120801-2_amd64.deb | grep usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/shcomp.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/ksh93.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/shcomp.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/rksh93.1.gz -> ksh93.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/rksh.1.gz -> ksh.1.gz
…but ksh.1.gz does not exist in Debian:
$ apt-file search /usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1.gz
$
Presumably, the link should point to ksh93.1.gz instead.

Thanks for following up. I agree that there’s not an issue here, sorry for
the noise. At the time when I filed the issue, debiman didn’t support
alternatives.
