Hi,

For reference, I have added a note to the Debian Release Notes for
Stretch about OpenSSH dropping ciphers and protocols by default.

It will be available on-line in a couple of hours at:
  *
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html

Reviews welcome.

Thanks,
~Niels
