On the advice of Dave Love from Daresbury, and with some extra help, we have been able to use ssh-4.2 from testing, backported to sarge, without any difficulties, and so we are replacing ssh-krb5 on all machines. Since I presume this will be the action most people will want to take, I'm willing to see this bug closed as no longer relevant.
