Bug#845315: support for /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*.conf ?

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@aixigo.de>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:7.3p1-3+b1

Hi folks,

would it be possible to support a line

	Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*.conf

in /etc/ssh/ssh_config?

This would allow to keep local settings separate from the
defaults provided by ssh_config. Very important to avoid
conflicts on package updates. Plus it would be possible for
other packages to adjust the default ssh client configuration,
eg. for freeipa-client.

This scheme has proven to be very successful, for example
in zabbix-agent, sudo, apt, mysql, ...

BTW, config include files should be read in alphabetic
sequence (LANG=C).


Thanx in advance
Harri
