It's actually a bit more strict than default debian bookworm; I applied the server config recommendations from https://github.com/jtesta/ssh-audit, see /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/local.conf

This means you can't use ECDSA keys (RSA, ED25519 or ED25519-SK are all OK) and must use sufficiently modern ciphers, MAC and key-exchange algorithms.
