Package: openssh-client Version: 1:7.5p1-10 Severity: wishlist Hi there, OpenSSH's scp(1) binary can be used in client mode in combination with other SSH clients, or in sink mode in combination with another server. /usr/bin/scp is only linked against libc6, but to install it along with a more lightweight SSH server/client (Drobear for instance, cf. #495795) one currently needs to install openssh-client, which pulls 10.3MiB in 8 dependencies on a clean sid chroot, hence can be a blocker on small or embedded systems. Please consider shipping /usr/bin/scp in its own binary package instead; as per Colin's mail from debian-ssh@l.d.o [0]: > Package: openssh-client > Depends: openssh-scp > > Package: openssh-scp > Recommends: openssh-client | ssh-client > Breaks: openssh-client (<< first-version-without-scp) > Replaces: openssh-client (<< first-version-without-scp) Thanks for maintainer OpenSSH in Debian! -- Guilhem.
