* 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 (1:3.0.1p1-1) unstable; urgency=high
+
+  As of version 3, OpenSSH no longer uses separate files for ssh1 and ssh2
+  keys. This means the authorized_keys2 and known_hosts2 files are no longer
+  needed. They will still be read in order to maintain backward
+  compatibility.
