Thanks for the tweak. I think this should be fine for now. > I have bumped the version on the source package too but have no idea if > rebuilding openssh from source will fix the problem.

A rebuild with the new X in place should rectify this automatically. Come to think of it, now we have two different -9 releases, one in release and one in release-2. That will invariably confuse me at one point. Maybe it is actually better to rebuild from source...
