the problem is that for complex setups (eg where some connections are
established via ssh hopping through firewalls, using proxy commands with
another ssh process or similar), settings like port are not even
necessarily meaningful, yet passed to ssh.

for the setups i've tested so far, it is possible to express them in
apt-dater configuration (warranting for the severity downgrade), but it
is redundant and prone to be missed when the ssh config is changed.

(it also causes apt-dater to display potentially unrelated port numbers
in the host list, although that could be taken care of in other ways)
