That would be fine with me to have it be only in verbose mode.

However, SSH_BUG_SERVERLIESSIZE is still needed because the old
clients require key sizes to be reported as an even number of
bits, and we wouldn't want to emulate that bug for newer clients.
You say that it doesn't depend on the version of sshd and I assume
that extends to the ssh client, but I think it's fair to only 
accommodate the clients known to be picky and which are still
pretty commonly found.

I will attach a new suggested patch.  I have added a comment
explaining the known scenario which the warning is for so people
who look will know that it is intentionally for this case.
