#1 - OpenSSH/OpenBSD is not Debian. What you do to the source is your
business, but you only add to the confusion (if there is any at all).
#2 - In TWO years of helping people with ssh compiling, configuring, and
using. I've seen SIX people (80% of them are on this list!) whine about
lack of -1/-2. The others where happy to use -oProtocol=[12] to do their
job.
NOW please.. tell me.. *WHERE* are these MASSES of people crying out for
the -1/-2 option for scp? SIX people out of almost a thousand plus
people I've interacted with.
<sigh> Waste of time..
