Bug#854650: openssh-client: does not list rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512



Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:7.4p1-6
Severity: normal

ssh_config(5) lists "ssh -Q key" as the way to discover valid algorithms
for the HostKeyAlgorithms page.  However, neither the man page nor that
option lists the rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 options.

Since these values are not documented, users are likely to omit them,
resulting in negotiating weaker signature algorithms (RSA/SHA-1) than
they might otherwise have.
