Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.6.1p2-11
Severity: minor
I often get the following message with ssh:
greux:~> /usr/bin/ssh -T greux true
No value for $TERM and no -T specified
However, I specified -T! Even when $TERM is defined, I get this message.

I'm closing this bug as the message didn't come from SSH.
And since SSH has a similar problem for its messages, I've
reported bug 571606:

After all, passing TERM without option -t doesn't really make sense
anyway.
