  Description     : OpenSSH client and server with GSS-API support

As discussed in 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/04/msg00044.html and thread, 
I've been intending to split out GSS-API support from the main OpenSSH 
packaging for some time.

The GSS-API key exchange patch is about 3900 lines that is never likely 
to be accepted upstream, and accounts for 68% of our current patch 
volume all by itself, much of which is in the particularly 
security-critical pre-authentication parts of OpenSSH.  We also 
configure OpenSSH using the --with-kerberos5 option, which causes 
sshd-auth and sshd-session to have significant extra library linkage 
that increases their exposure to attack chains.  Having all of this 
installed only on systems that actually need it will reduce risk for 
most Debian users.

I intend to maintain this as part of the SSH team (which admittedly is 
pretty much just me right now; if any Debian developers are interested 
in helping out, please contact me off-list) alongside the existing 
openssh and openssh-ssh1 source packages.  Unlike openssh-ssh1 which is 
intentionally frozen at an old version, it should generally be possible 
to keep openssh-gssapi broadly in sync with openssh.
