Bug#484269: openssh-blacklist bloats small debian systems with sshd



Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:4.7p1-12
Severity: important

openssh-server depends on openssh-blacklist. This enhances the size of an 
small debian system significantly. 

I think it es wrong to force the blacklist on every user of openssh.

openssh-server should:

* check at runtime if blacklists are installed. It may log a warning message 
if it does not find blacklists (by default, which must be switched off 
explicitely in the sshd_config file)
* and only recommend the openssh-blacklist package

Alternatively debian could provide a package which provides openssh-blacklist 
but actually do not contain any blacklists.
