Bug Description

Binary package hint: dirvish

The "dirvish" package depends on the "ssh" metapackage. This is unnecessary, as dirvish can run locally (if the client is set to the string output by the "hostname" command).

Even if you do want to do remote backups, you only need the client; not the server.

There is a debian bug for this problem too:

I think it's worth fixing in ubuntu before debian gets around to it because running an ssh server could be a security problem.
