I was going to do this for Debian 12 (bookworm) which is the only 
affected Debian release, but then realized that I already did it in 
December 2024 and forgot about it. :-)

Any reason you didn't include the documentation changes from 
https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/commit/?id=aee54878255d71bf93aa6e91bbd4eb1825c0d1b9
as well?  Encouraging distributors to keep that in sync seems like a 
good idea (and when I cherry-picked the new alias into Debian I included 
the documentation changes).

Thanks,

FWIW I happened to notice that the commit on V_9_8 contains what seems
to be some unrelated changes to the man pages (as opposed to the related 
changes that I think should be included).  Probably harmless, but it 
might confuse any relevant distributors slightly.

Good point, I've done so now.
