Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-4
Severity: wishlist
We have an environment where we sometimes build our own version of sshd
and we use the userid, groupid of sshd (perhaps it can be altered ).
I suggest this only because I notice that exim4 has a Debian-exim for
example. Perhaps the base-passwd package could have the sshd specific
entry...

OK; closing then, thanks.
