Control: tags -1 wontfix

Setting the tag just to make it clear that I personally don't plan to
work on this, but would happily package a new upstream if someone wanted
to adopt it.  I think the current upstream would welcome this.

Unfortunately, rssh is basically dead upstream and the configuration file
syntax is not particularly extensible, so I've been very reluctant to add
support for new programs as further patches against the Debian package.
It can be tricky to get the security properties right, and since I
wouldn't be personally using it, I'm not at all sure I'd be able to make
it secure.

Ideally, someone would take over the package upstream and give it some
love and attention, including incorporating more backend programs and
making it more extensible.  I unfortunately don't have the time to do
that; I personally only use it for rsync, so it does the one thing I want
from it.
