Wouldn't it be better to use the much cleaner fix from openssh-portable:
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/b00331402fe5c60d577f3ffcc35e49286cdc6b47

I realise that most of the distros seem to have copied the same early
patch but I assume that was to get the fix done prior to public
exposure. As there's a proper fix isn't that better?
