Sorry for the noise, just found the problems myself...
1. The password for the web-interface also works for the SSH login
(somehow I assumed only key-based authentication would work, don't know why)
2. Contrary what the docs say in the SSH-key dialog at
http://alioth.debian.org, only RSA keys are accepted, and you only find
out when you look at the error message that gets generated in
~/.ssh/authorized_keys... Perhaps it would be nice adding that to
mentioned Wiki page?
So, SSH-related problem solved.
I have another question though: The team-policy says I should update the
appropriate meta-packages. However, in the case of ViennaCL it is not
quite clear which meta-packages would directly benefit from it. It could
be used in mathematics, physics, robotics, astronomy, chemistry, you
name it, but it wouldn't be an application or even a topic-specific
library, it is rather a library on which you could base such
applications or libraries.
