* Split the ssh binary package into openssh-client and openssh-server

  (closes: #39741). openssh-server depends on openssh-client for some
  common functionality; it didn't seem worth creating yet another package
  for this.
* New transitional ssh package, depending on openssh-client and
  openssh-server. May be removed once nothing depends on it.
* When upgrading from ssh to openssh-{client,server}, it's very difficult
  for the maintainer scripts to find out what version we're upgrading from
  without dodgy dpkg hackery. I've therefore taken the opportunity to move
  a couple of debconf notes into NEWS files, namely ssh/ssh2_keys_merged
  and ssh/user_environment_tell.
* In general, upgrading to this version directly from woody without first
  upgrading to the version in sarge is not currently guaranteed to work
  very smoothly due to the aforementioned version discovery problems.

+ .
+ Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine
+ and for executing commands on a remote machine.
+ It provides secure encrypted communications between two untrusted
+ hosts over an insecure network.  X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP
+ ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
+ It is intended as a replacement for rlogin, rsh and rcp, and can be
+ used to provide applications with a secure communication channel.
+ .
+ This package provides the ssh client.
