I compiled openssh and friends a while ago, but never cleaned up my patches to make them suitable for upstream. If you want to do that, that would be great. > libwrap0-dev is needed.

You need to conditionalize debian/control in debian/rules on the value of DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM = `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM` > I will start nagging the maintainers to include my changes, once I > have evolved them from bad kludges to proper hacks. That's good. Let us know if you get stuck somewhere. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
