   * Make sure there's a newline at the end of sshd_config before adding
     'UsePAM yes' (closes: #244829).
+  * Remove /usr/share/doc/ssh/RFC.gz from the ssh binary package (although
+    it's still in the source, so this only addresses part of #211640 rather
+    than closing it). It isn't DFSG-free and only documents the obsolete
+    SSH1 protocol, not to mention that it was never a real RFC but only an
+    Internet-Draft. It's available from
+    http://www.free.lp.se/bamse/draft-ylonen-ssh-protocol-00.txt if you want
+    it for some reason.
