I'd like to upload to stable to fix #700102. (Actually I've already
uploaded this because I forgot I was supposed to ask first - whoops - so
it's in a queue somewhere already.) This is a DoS fix, but since a
member of the security team (CCed) reported it and requested an upload
to stable, I assume they don't think it's worth issuing a DSA.
Here's the diff.

+Description: Change default of MaxStartups to 10:30:100
+ This causes sshd to start doing random early drop at 10 connections up to
+ 100 connections. This will make it harder to DoS as CPUs have come a long
+ way since the original value was set back in 2000.
