This might be https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9515, which was
fixed in Twisted 19.2.0; Debian 10 has an older version.  I forget what
the original symptoms of that bug were, but it seems plausible.  Try
applying this workaround patch?

  https://salsa.debian.org/ssh-team/openssh/-/blob/debian/1%258.3p1-1/debian/patches/conch-old-privkey-format.patch

(I haven't advocated for this to be applied to OpenSSH upstream, since
the proper fix was in Twisted.)
