You are right, debian now frowns on this behavior, I deleted the
undocumented links.
(I did not find it in the policy manual, but only in "man dh_undocumented")
Furthemore, the policy told me that missing man pages are considered as
a bug, so a new bug has been filed in bugs.sk.no  (#1030)

About policy and compatibility of debian-edu-config, lintian told me that :

W: debian-edu-config source:
package-uses-deprecated-debhelper-compat-version 1
-> should we use "4" compat file stamp ?

W: debian-edu-config source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.6.1
-> shall-we put more recent standards-version ? current policy version
is 3.6.2.2.

Ok, but the /etc/default/backdoor file will certainly not change since
this init script grew better ...

I found #783 : http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=783
for this issue, but it is closed. If the bug is still here, we should
reopen it.

I have an idea for this issue. If it is still there I will try it and
commit it if it work :
$man ssh
... ...
  -N      Do not execute a remote command.  This is useful for just
forwarding ports (protocol version 2
             only).
  -T      Disable pseudo-tty allocation.
... ...

ok, done.
