Package: ssh
Version: 1:2.3.0p1-1.6
Severity: normal
The default PATH when I log in via ssh is:
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
I think /usr/local/bin should be at the front so local programs take
precedence over distributed programs. Maybe something like:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

This was fixed in openssh 1:3.6.1p2-4. Sorry for not noticing it
earlier.
openssh (1:3.6.1p2-4) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
* Move /usr/local/bin to the front of the default path, following
/etc/login.defs (closes: #201150).
