This is less visible on Debian because openssh-server already pulls in
this dependency, and is installed by the base system (at least in the
Live CD where I am writing this -- Jessie/Gnome 3).
Nonetheless, an undeclared dependency is an undeclared dependency; here
is a simple patch which attempts to rectify this problem (inlined and
attached, but this is simple enough that it's probably easier to just
hack it in manually.)

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, perhaps not.
