Hi Dan, this is a pretty interesting idea, thanks for bringing it up.

The best course of action would be to propose this as a package in Debian, and sign up to maintain it. This is a lot of delta from upstream that I don't think we'd want to carry in Ubuntu's main OpenSSH package, so it would need to be a forked package.

I suggest Debian, because there's no real reason this should only live in Ubuntu when some Debian users would benefit from it, and also would be able to help with the maintenance of it.

So, my recommendation would be to file a WNPP bug in Debian:

http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

And then come back here and do an "Also Affects Distribution" with a link to that bug.

As it stands, I think this is most appropriately expressed in Ubuntu as a needs-packaging bug.
