well i assumed he was referring to the OpenSSH2 problems with
authorized_keys2 among others fixed in 2.9.9p2.  while this is not
relevant to stable it does affect unstable users, and the sid ssh
packages are still not updated to 2.9.9p2.  this is not the
responisibility of the security team of course.

there is also the so called traffic analysis problems which stable ssh
has no workarounds for.  (there are patches to counteract that
problem).
