--- Comment #3 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
> What options do we have?

1. Go to your vendors and request they update their SSH
implementations.
2. Use an alternate client (e.g. PuTTY) or an old version of the
OpenSSH client that you retain for communicating with legacy devices
(Debian has the openssh-client-ssh1 package that include DSA support)
3. Use an alternate access mechanism, e.g. serial, telnet, etc.

The code for DSA has already been fully deleted
(https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/a32d28d7925). We
have no intention of bringing it back.
