Bug#884096: openssh-client: "Too many authentication failures" with the 7th private key identity
Control: reassign -1 openssh-server 1:7.6p1-2
The "Too many authentication failures" error came from sshd,
so this should have been in openssh-server, not openssh-client.
I don't know the current status since as a workaround, I currently
use IdentityFile + IdentitiesOnly on my current machines. But not
every SSH client might have that.
According to <https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/1263>,
trying multiple public keys is legitimate.
