ssh and the hypothetical ssh-us should have the same maintainer,
and the same source code, just like pgp-i and pgp-us.  Anything
else will mean that the two packages will be out of sync,
at least some of the time. Not recommended. This is security
stuff, and needs to be done correctly. Unless the ssh makefiles
and stuff is stupid, it should be simple to produce both packages
from the same source package, just like PGP.
