Package: ksh,ksh93

Hi,
during a test with piuparts and DOSE tools I noticed your package causes
removal of files that also belong to another package.
This is caused by using Replaces without corresponding Breaks.
The installation sequence to reproduce this problem is
apt-get install ksh
# (1)
apt-get install ksh93
apt-get remove ksh93
# (2)
The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical,
but the following files have disappeared:
/etc/skel/.kshrc
(also happens with both packages swapped)
This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces
and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#id13
Since you obviously want the two packages to be co-installable,
* either move /etc/skel/.kshrc to a separate packages, and let both depend on it
* or let only one (ksh) ship it and the other (ksh93) depend on it.

A conflicts relation with ksh93 was added to address this as ksh2020 was
rolled back to ksh93 in src:ksh. Plus, src:ksh93 is in the ftp-master
queue for removal.
