Public bug reported:

My ~/.ssh/config has

Host *.canonical.com
    User pitti

and some convenience aliases as the actual host names change from time
to time:

Host cdimage
    HostName nusakan.canonical.com

Host langpack
    HostName macquarie.canonical.com

For years, until the previous Wily version 6.7 this was working as
expected. But since today with 6.9 trying to ssh to e. g. langpack
stopped taking the "User pitti" into account:

$ ssh -v cdimage
[...]
debug1: Authenticating to nusakan.canonical.com:22 as 'martin'
[...]
Permission denied (publickey).

"martin" is my local user name at my laptop, i. e. the  default when
"User" isn't set.

If I don't use the alias and do "ssh nusakan.canonical.com" it does
apply the User setting.
