On the architectures affected by the 64-bit time_t transition, there is at least one cyclic build-dependency involving this package: openssh-server, gtk+3.0, at-spi2-core, dbus-broker, systemd, cryptsetup, libssh, openssh-server. I've tried to break this cycle at at-spi2-core (#1066844) but that's going to require additional changes in gtk+3.0, to disable its test suite (which requires librsvg, which requires Rust, which needs re-bootstrapping) on the affected architectures, and at this stage I'm unsure whether other relevant cycles exist. I think it would be pragmatic to disable ssh-askpass-gnome on the affected architectures for the duration of this transition: it's a low-popcon leaf package which is the only thing pulling in "heavy" dependencies to openssh. I attach a possible patch. I've verified that it compiles successfully in an armhf porterbox chroot (without ssh-askpass-gnome) and on amd64 (with ssh-askpass-gnome), but I haven't otherwise tested it. Thanks, smcv

Temporarily dropping a low-popcon binary package that is already excludable by a build-profile seems like a convenient place to break the cycle.
