So, I think I have this fixed in openssh 1:4.3p2-7 (intentionally not
bumping to 4.5 and backporting security fixes to make it easier to get
this sort of packaging fix done for etch). Unfortunately, while I've
tried a few different upgrade paths from a clean sarge chroot, I've been
unable to reproduce this problem. Once I upload all this, could somebody
please test it out to verify that it's really fixed?

Thanks, and apologies for the big CC list,
