unblock request for gstm



Hello again,

I would like you to consider allowing gstm 1.2-7 into Lenny. The
primary reason is removing gaskpass, which has a security issue
(explained below). The other problem I fixed because it can make the
package unusable for some people.

Here's the changelog:
   * Remove gaskpass. gaskpass is just another ssh askpass program, and
     doesn't do anything special. It does not grab focus, which means
     that key loggers can listen in on what you type, aiui. Seeing as how
     it is just reinventing the wheel, I see no reason to keep it around.
     (Fixes LP: #276530, #276517, #276525, #276529, #276534)
   * Do not explicitly set the ssh timeout, as that causes problems on
     slow networks. (Fixes LP: #293240)

TIA,
Ryan
