considering "features" as commandline options then no, autossh passes every
commandline option (except for -M, but this creates a lot of mess and I'm
planning to fix it) which are openssh-specific (but I suspect they are the same
as ssh-client).

(open)ssh-client makes autossh uninstallable on testing
