Bug#282339: scp: single-purpose keys for scp

[Borna Novak <bbozo@student.math.hr>]

Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8
Severity: wishlist

AFAIK, single-purpose keys are aplicable only to "normal" ssh sessions?
It would be a very useful feature if it were possible to create keys that would apply only to specific pairs of local_files=>remote_files as a "safe" automated way to transfer root-only readable system files on small networks (/etc/shadow, ...).
