Yes, we want to test rsa/sha1 if its available but Redhat doesn't seem to
offer any clean way to detect it at runtme.

Redhat's patch to sshd has it attempt an extra rsa/sha1 signature per
connection because of a lack of a better way to do it. RSA signatures
aren't super expensive, but this seems like a wasteful way to find out
(effectively) whether a flag has been set.
