* Mitigate OpenSSL security vulnerability:
- Add key blacklisting support. Keys listed in /etc/ssh/blacklist.TYPE-LENGTH will be rejected for authentication by sshd, unless "PermitBlacklistedKeys yes" is set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. - Add a new program, ssh-vulnkey, which can be used to check keys against these blacklists. - Depend on openssh-blacklist. - Force dependencies on libssl0.9.8 / libcrypto0.9.8-udeb to at least 0.9.8g-9. - Automatically regenerate known-compromised host keys, with a critical-priority debconf note. (I regret that there was no time to gather translations.)
