    [$] Debian changes OpenSSH packaging

    Description:
    In the wake of the XZ
    backdoor , the Debian project has revisited some of the
    patches included in its OpenSSH packages to improve security. The outcome of this is that the project
    will be splitting out support for Kerberos key exchange into a
    separate set of packages, though not until after the Debian13
    ("trixie") release expected next year. The impact on Debian users
    should be minimal, but it is an interesting look into the changes
    Linux distributions make to upstream software as well as some of the
    long-term consequences of those choices.
