Our upstream seems to be FreeBSD's ls(1).
More precisely, FreeBSD's ls(1) as of svn rev. 20960 a.k.a Dec. 28, 1996 :-). (It is, apart from "$Id$" markers in the top comments, identical to our distfile).

Yes, I guess that makes sense.
I'll see if I can get the FreeBSD folks to merge my patch, but we should probably see if there have been any interesting changes to their ls(1) in the last 19 years.
