** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  libpam-sshauth v0.1-1 (shipped with precise) used to support publickey
  authentication with ssh-agent.
  
  New version of this lib shipped with trusty and late has dropped this
  feature; which is related to upstream author (ltsp-upstream) switching
  to using libssh2 (was using libssh before).
  
  [Test Case]
+ 
+ If users ssh to the server configured with libpam-sshauth using
+ publickey authentication, they're not granted access.
  
  A patched has been approved/merge upstream:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~benoit-guyard/ltsp/libpam-sshauth/+merge/273930
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  A testfix has been provided, and positive feedbacks from the community
  has been given by the community to confirm the new package work under
  Trusty as expected: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source
  /libpam-sshauth/+bug/1507798/comments/4
  
  [Original Description]
  It as been brought to my attention that libpam-sshauth (version >=0.3-1) have 
dropped support for publickey authentication.
