Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.5p1-1
Severity: important

Probably caused by the changes for #115286, Host lines in ~/.ssh/config
are now seeingly ignored by ssh if they contain any uppercase. 

For example:

joey@darkstar:~>cat .ssh/config
Host fooBar
  Hostname example.com

Host foobaz
  Hostname example.com
joey@darkstar:~>ssh -v fooBar
OpenSSH_6.5, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/joey/.ssh/config
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for *
ssh: Could not resolve hostname foobar: Name or service not known
- exit 255
joey@darkstar:~>ssh -v foobaz
OpenSSH_6.5, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/joey/.ssh/config
debug1: /home/joey/.ssh/config line 4: Applying options for foobaz
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to example.com [93.184.216.119] port 22.

I have set the severity to important, because this seems likely to break
existing setups out there in the wild.

Since this affects git-annex, and I have only put in a quick fix
(preventing it from using any uppercase when generating new Host lines,
but not fixing up existing ones), I'd appreciate if you let me know if
this is something that is likely to be fixed. Otherwise I need to go to
some trouble to make git-annex probe the version of ssh that is
installed and fix up Host lines it has already generated.

Indeed, that should fix the bug described above.  Closing unless I see
reports with >= -2.
