Debian Jessie Currently:
Neither openssh-client nor openssh-server depend on openssh-blacklist or

I do not quite know which programs use the blacklist, but what is the
reason for
this change? Shouldn't the client, the server, or both at least suggest
openssh-blacklist? I couldn't find anything about this in the changelogs.
It's this particular change:

The removal of ssh-vulnkey means that the blacklist isn't used anymore.
Cheers,

So I see. Thank you.
