Bug#320104: ssh: Xforwarding is disabled and is not a debconf option either

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@lkcl.net>]

Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4
Severity: normal


1) disabling of X forwarding on the server end is pointless as
   there is absolutely zero risk at the server end.

2) ssh -X is a choice made by the client: they take the risk.
   (and having the ssh_config option ForwardX11 no is a GOOD
    idea in this respect and is very sensible - unlike X11Forwarding no
    in sshd_config)

please either enable X11forwarding Yes in sshd_config, or provide
a debconf option to say yes or no and if it makes you happy put the
default option as no.
