> If I upload the sshd.c proposed change, will that be possibility?

Please do attach the diff for reference - that is useful for the record.

I think it will still be unlikely though. Introducing new configuration
options in a distribution delta is particularly painful because if
upstream later implement something differently, we'll be stuck
supporting an obsolete upgrade path forever. I believe this has already
happened to the openssh package in Ubuntu. Just because Ubuntu patches
upstream sources for other reasons doesn't automatically qualify doing
so again for a new reason. The argument for a new patch will need to be
made on its own merits.

I suggest that if you want to push this further, you start by
identifying exactly what patch it is that upstream won't take,
understand exactly why they won't take it, why existing upstream code
isn't sufficient for your needs even though upstream believe it is,
understand how that applies to Ubuntu's delta if the reasons are
different, and present that all here.
