This means client and server couldn't agree on a key exchange
algorithm. If you compare the client's and the server's list you will

What flavor if Debian is the remote host running? The package
openssh-server from unstable has this more or less recent changelog
entry:

openssh (1:6.7p1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.7):
    - sshd(8): The default set of ciphers and MACs has been altered to
      remove unsafe algorithms.  In particular, CBC ciphers and arcfour* are
