Bug#275472: Support for kerberos in ssh



I'd like to ask that you not enable gssapi support for the ssh
package.  The problem is that there is a key exchange method that has
not yet been accepted upstream that you probably want if you want
Kerberos support.  Having the ssh package do some but not all of the
desired Kerberos support would be confusing to users.

I'm not sure I know of anyone working on getting this patch accepted
upstream.  All the involved parties are just too busy.


The other option is to maintain the key exchange patch as a Debian
local patch.  I think that's something to consider for the sarge+1
time frame, but I'd rather see how bad the openssh 3.9 port is before
deciding it will be easy to do and actually trying to convince you
that you want to maintain a patch that large.;)
