Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.7p1-3
Severity: normal

What actually happens is that ssh-copy-id tries to run this code, expecting it
to fail:

REMOTE_VERSION=$(ssh -v -o PreferredAuthentications=',' "$@" 2>&1 |
                 sed -ne 's/.*remote software version //p')

However, if an existing control master is open, and ssh is configured to use
it, this will /not/ fail, leaving you controlling an ssh connection to the
remote host, without seeing any of the output (since it's being piped into
sed), making it look like ssh-copy-id has hung.

I think most (or maybe all) of the ssh invocations in ssh-copy-id should
probably just pass -o ControlPath=none since using an existing control master
is not desireable in those cases.
