Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:4.3p2-9
Severity: wishlist

Comparing sshd(8) with
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8&manpath=OpenBSD
, I notice that even though the date at the bottom is equal, the openbsd
page lists an extra sentence in the AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT section,
but-on-last in the command="command" bit.

This sentence reads "The command originally supplied by the client is
available in the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable.", and is
actually a useful one to document this otherwise undocumented behaviour.

I didn't research the ancestry of the manpage, but something weird
seems to go on here with versions and dates not being updated :).

This sentence was added upstream in OpenSSH 4.4, and thus is in the
Debian package as of 1:4.6p1-1.
