Bug#990456: openssh-client: Please change group name from ssh to e.g. _ssh
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:8.4p1-5
Severity: wishlist
In a multi OS environment I have a user named "Sasha Spencer Hughes".
Their name is shortened to ssh for email, jabber and as user name.
Unfortunately, the associated group name conflicts with the one used by
/usr/bin/ssh-agent.
I would kindly ask you to change the group name to e.g. _ssh, which is
less likely to conflict with a group name used by a human.
Alternatively, if that were too complicated to change in an update-safe
manner, it were nice, if the group name were not hardcoded into
debian/openssh-client.postinst, but provided by debconf.
