Bug#1088873: openssh: please add sntrup761x25519-sha512 as an alias to [email protected] in 9.2/Bookworm

Package: openssh
Version: 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

OpenSSH 9.9 introduced sntrup761x25519-sha512 as an official IANA alias to the existing [email protected] that has been supported for several releases.

It would be desirable for the OpenSSH version in stable to declare the same alias. It would greatly simplify configuration deployment via /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/ and /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ directories.

Thanks!
Martin-Éric
