Bug#280609: ssh: -q suppresses "Connection refused" messages



Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.2
Severity: normal

According to the man page:

> -q    Quiet mode.  Causes all warning and diagnostic messages to be suppressed.
>       Only fatal errors are displayed.  If a second -q is given then even fatal
>       errors are suppressed.

In fact, -q also suppresses "Connection refused" which sounds pretty fatal to me.
