Bug#327071: ssh: Make interactiveness a commandline option

[Bas Wijnen <shevek@fmf.nl>]

Package: ssh
Version: 1:4.1p1-6
Severity: wishlist

ssh provides a terminal device to the shell executing remotely when it
is run without a command.  It does not do this if a command is
specified.

However, it can be useful to run a command which needs a terminal device.  Therefore it would be good to have a commandline option to request one.

Also, in some cases it may not be needed to have a terminal device, even
if there is no command, e.g. if standard input is not connected to the
keyboard.  A commandline option for that may be useful as well.
