Given how Trixie has raised the minimum CPU level for some
architectures (e.g. on i386, minimum Pentium 4 due to Rust now
requiring SSE2), it would be desirable for OpenSSH to be backported to
at least Bookworm, preferably also to Bullseye, so that hosts running
on deprecated CPUs can remain reachable using post-quantum crypto for
the remainder of their LTS support timespan.
While I'm reasonably OK with doing this, backports rules mean that I
need to wait until there's a suitable version in testing, and I'd much
rather wait until at least version 1:10.0p1-3 is in testing since the
current version in testing has an RC bug.
No promises about bullseye; it will depend on how the test suite looks
there, and the rationale you give only really seems to apply to
bookworm.
