I don't think it matters much right now.  I'd be more interested to see the code
that can reliably detect this condition, then we can work out where is best fits.

Since auth-passwd.c is present in both OpenBSD's sshd and Portable's, additions
to it represent an ongoing maintenance hassle.  In general, we prefer to avoid
unnecessary differences in files that must be kept synced.
