I've updated the packaging for upstream version 2.4.0, and updated the debian packaging scripts to the latest-and-greatest in the process. This involved switching the python build system. The build-time upstream test suite was failing, because it needs to be able to load the modules in the package. Rather than deal with that so it can find them at build time, I migrated the test suite into a DEP-8 test form, which is a two-line debian/tests/control. This would in theory allow this to migrate into testing despite the freeze.
I've placed this in a fork of the packaging repo, https://salsa.debian.org/bap/ssh-audit.git Please feel free to pick any or all of the changes. Cheers, --Barak. PS I'm a DD, so if you'd like me to upload, either as a once-off or after adding myself as a co-maintainer, I'd be happy to.
