Being maintained by the QA Group means that a package is orphaned, thus it tends not to get that much attention, especially in this case where it's non-free.

I'm certainly reluctant to add a dependency on xbase-clients; see #123768, for instance. Somebody will need to figure out why sshd spins like this when sshd isn't available. If you have a chance to build a debug version and attach gdb to it while it's spinning, that would be ideal, otherwise I'll do it at some point. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
