Yes, I just need to get round to it. Hopefully over the Christmas
holidays.

I'm not keen. We only recently got rid of openssh-krb5, I have headaches
enough keeping the Kerberos patch up to date although the upstream for
that is excellent, and I don't want to increase my workload further by
including more third-party patches. The more of these I include, the
longer it takes to get new upstream releases packaged.
