+openssh (1:7.5p1-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+
+  OpenSSH 7.5 includes a number of changes that may affect existing
+  configurations:
+
+   * This release deprecates the sshd_config UsePrivilegeSeparation option,
+     thereby making privilege separation mandatory.
+
+   * The format of several log messages emitted by the packet code has
+     changed to include additional information about the user and their
+     authentication state. Software that monitors ssh/sshd logs may need to
+     account for these changes. For example:
+
+       Connection closed by user x 1.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
+       Connection closed by authenticating user x 10.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
+       Connection closed by invalid user x 1.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
+
+     Affected messages include connection closure, timeout, remote
+     disconnection, negotiation failure and some other fatal messages
+     generated by the packet code.
