Provide commented-out method of using SFTP to upload to Ubuntu + PPAs

[Scott Ritchie]

Binary package hint: dput

This is the current default dput.cf:

[ubuntu]
fqdn = upload.ubuntu.com
method = ftp
incoming = /
login = anonymous

for sftp you need:

[ubuntu]
fqdn = upload.ubuntu.com
method = sftp
incoming = ubuntu
login = (launchpad nick)

The default dput.cf should make itself more amenable to the latter, as some of us require sftp uploads due to awful ISPs. I suggest just adding the entire sftp section right below the ftp one, however have it commented out. A similar example could be made for PPAs. That way we won't need to search around the internet for how to enable sftp anymore.

Still relevant with Trusty's shipped dput.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

given that there is no dput implementations that support proxies for ftp uploads this is slightly more urgent, as generally there are ssh proxy setups readily available that just work.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

`login = *` would work and ask ssh for the username.

If a different launchpad nick is needed from the local address, one should then configure that in ~/.ssh/config which will then work for bzr, git, dput access to launchpad.

This bug was fixed in the package dput - 1.1.0ubuntu2

---------------
dput (1.1.0ubuntu2) impish; urgency=medium

  * Add ssh-ubuntu and ssh-ppa upload targets using sftp protocols and ssh
    provided username. Set login name in ~/.ssh/config for ubuntu &
    launchpad hosts to match the launchpad login name. LP: #632041
