 There shouldn't be any security issues with including at least
the performance patch to allow for scalable buffer sizes.

 But it would be nice if the hpn11-none cipher patch could also
be included as there is probably good need of it by most people who use
scp. I'd even argue for documenting it officially as it seems pretty
obvious which situations call for its use (and which don't).

 Just my two cents. I'm going to rebuild my local packages with
the patches at least. :) It would be nice to see all Debian users
benefit from these though.
