Please note that there have been security issues in tattle versions before 0.3.0 as reported by b0iler on Bugtraq [1].
An updated release of tattle which fixes this issue is available on the new website [2] of its developer, Mr. C.J. Steele. Though much has been improved since the initial release, some shortcomings remain in the current 0.4.0 release ([3], [4], script does not define default variable values outside of its configuration section). Nevertheless tattle would make a nice addition to the Debian pool, though, preferrably, as a standalone package. A recommendation to install it could be added to the openssh-server dependencies once it is generally considered both reliable and using a good reporting approach. I thus recommend to reassign this a bug against wnpp twice, once with title 'tattle', once with title 'never seen before' (if still of interest).
