While that may not be valid, the "works for a lot of people" testing
procedure is. Note the "please test" in the subject line. I think Philip

That's why we're keeping ssh-nonfree.

That's just incorrect. OpenSSH was _originally_ ssh 1.2.12 by Yatu Ylonen.
The OpenBSD developers modified it to make it work with the new protocol.
Damien miller modified it to make it work on Linux. This is clearly _not_
ssh1.2.12, this is OpenSSH 1.2pre(whatevernowi'vebeenawayforaweek).
