It's unlikely to apply very well the first time when this can be looked
at, i.e. after sarge, since the client and server will be split out
then.

I have a general objection, though: consider N features in OpenSSH which
require extra libraries (there are a few filed as other bugs, IIRC). How
many packages am I supposed to build? N? 2^N? Dealing with configuration
files would be a total nightmare. And so on. As I said in my original
mail to you, "It would have to be a separate package, and I have
concerns about the maintainability of that approach."

I'd rather wait until we split out client and server, then build the
server with some extra features by default since the server will be in
optional rather than standard.

Thanks,
