Sorry about the delay here. I've uploaded openssh 1:4.3p2-9 with Russ'
patches (the second one tweaked in the obvious way to apply on top of
the first) at urgency=high. I've tested as best I can in a chroot, both
by upgrading from sarge's ssh-krb5 and with a fresh install of ssh-krb5.
The source affecting the udebs is identical to that in 1:4.3p2-8, but
you may want to wait for it anyway ...
