Is ssh version 2.0.x going to be added to Debian ?

[Geoffrey L. Brimhall]

I noticed that a version 2.0.x of the SSH has been released, which looked
pretty cool (it has a secure ftp, for instance !).

Is this going to be put into Debian at some time ? If not, what are the issue
(not enough free time to do it, not-freeware-enough-license, etc) ?

Thanks !

Perhaps. If someone volunteers to package it.

SSH2's license defines commercial use more broadly than SSH1. So broad,
that the SSH1 maintainer isn't interested in packaging it.
