Bug#859270: OpenSSH should make it possible to explicitly chose public (long-lived) IPv6 address over temporary (anti-tracking) IPv6 address
I've implemented this feature (making it configurable with an option)
and submitted it to upstream ML [1], but the only feedback I got from
the developers was negative, apparently because this functionality is
Linux-specific (which it only is because no other OS implements the
relevant RFC).
Later I've submitted a version of the patch without the option [2],
hoping that would make it more acceptable to upstream, but received no
feedback whatsoever.
Would it be conceivable for Debian to include either of these patches in
its packages? I believe they are quite simple and non-invasive
(especially the second version - I can understand that adding new
options over what upstream has might be undesirable) and very unlikely
to cause any issues.
