Ship OpenSSH from wheezy-backports

A friendly cypherpunk asked whether Tails would like to ship the OpenSSH client from wheezy-backports. This backport supports:

  • ed25519 keys
  • chacha20-poly1305 as transport cipher
  • bcrypt stretching of keys at rest

I would personally like to see Tails ship an openssh client which supports the generation of non-nist crypto to ssh into services.

I’d gladly answer any questions or implement it in a branch.
