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. (Is there some particular reason you prefer SSH2 to
OpenSSH?)

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.
