Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
> Debian has updated sid to 6.6.1p1, and that should copy over to jessie soon.
I only see 1:6.6p1-4, but this does include:
* Apply upstream-recommended patch to fix bignum encoding for
<email address hidden>, fixing occasional key exchange failures.
If this is the patch for which you filed this bug, then we should rename this bug accordingly, since as far as I can tell 6.6.1p1 hasn't been released yet, and this is confusing. It sounds like the patch itself can be cherry-picked to Trusty.
I see 1:6.6p1-4 in utopic-proposed, so the fix should hit Utopic soon.
