Package: libssh
Version: 0.9.4-1

Currently libssh is built with nacl in Debian but that's not useful. I
came to the issue from the angle than Ubuntu has nacl in universe and
that's our only delta, our MIR team recommended trying building with
libsodium which is so I reported a bug upstream about that [1] and got
that reply

built against current openssl, which already supports X25519 curve for
all we need. At least in Fedora, nacl is not listed as dependency of
libssh at all.

implementation to have matching support.


Since Debian builds with openssl it sounds like the nacl Build-Depends
is not needed, I'm adding a debdiff to remove it, thanks for considering.

Chezers,
