--- Comment #5 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
OpenSSH 8.2 sets a $SSH_ASKPASS_PROMPT environment variable that
implements this feature. SSH_ASKPASS_PROMPT=confirm indicates a yes/no
confirmation dialog, SSH_ASKPASS_PROMPT=none indicates an informational
dialog and everything else is a regular passphrase request.

the contrib/gnome-ssh-askpass implementation has been updated to
support these.
