It's in section net, not user/net as I can see. So it's not visible and 
installable from AM, right? 
I though that it was the initial goal - to have it installable right from AM, 
without installing xterm and becomeroot.
Sorry if I misunderstood the point.

Unfortunately I can't change bora repository anyway, so I decided to put
my packages into bora extras. It's not the same package as in bora as
you've probably seen.

You're right, it's for users who wants just client functionality. Server
depends on client anyway, so it's impossible to install just server. 
I think it's not bad at all to have them splitted, no? I can see at
least one benefit - sshd will not be running all the time if I need only
client.
And, as I said, it's not the same package, the version and packaging are
different. I'm going to create garage project to maintain it.
