While this addresses the direct issue that bug #679966 concerns, the cd builtin was broken in various ways in that release and I don't think it goes far enough. For example, cd /etc;cd .. leaves you in /etc. That's a grave bug as essential scripts could be broken. If you want to dig into the upstream changes feel free but it'd be hard to avoid breaking things or leaving other subtle cd issues unresolved. In my opinion, it would be better if the debian release goes out with either the old squeeze release (93s+20080202-1) or 93u+20120628-1 (which was only bug fixes). I was away last week so sorry for not having got back to you sooner. Even so, a bit of notice of your intentions would have been nice. Note that I have put the ksh package up for adoption.
