What is the reason another cipher is needed?  Is it faster or stronger
than the existing ciphers?  What advantage does it provide to offset
the risk of additional code (which is exposed to unauthenticated
users)?

Regarding the patch itself:

 * it makes the camellia cipher mandatory for the software to build.  A
considerable effort has been made to make openssh work with older
versions of the openssl library and this is negated by making camellia
mandatory.

 * you use the standard namespace for the cipher, and the cipher is not
listed in either RFC4253 or RFC4344.  Non-standard ciphers must use the
vendor extension mechanism (ie ciphername at yourdomain.com).
