Turns out the problem was sorta between keyboard and chair, but not
just!
Namely:
1. libssh 0.11.x no longer recognizes DSA keys (which is reasonable),
and it would choke when encountering one: “Unknown key type
found!”, from ‘ssh_pki_import_pubkey_blob’.
2. I had stale DSA keys under ~/.ssh, so I removed them.
3. Problem: silly gpg-agent (which I use with ‘--enable-ssh-support’)
would keep serving those DSA keys that I had removed! Turns out it
caches private keys under ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d so I also had
to remove them as well.
After that, everything went well. Pfew.
