On the other hand, I don't think the libssh2 description is particularly
useful for a user.  The uppercase acronyms aren't friendly.  How about
something like this:

  libssh2 is a client-side C library implementing the SSH2 protocol
  with support for regular terminal, scp and SFTP sessions; port
  forwarding; password, key-based and keyboard-interactive
  authentication.
  .
  This package contains the python bindings libssh2. It is a fork and
  rewrite of org.keyphrene.
