Yes, because I mistakenly added the "dumb" line to the end of the
file, instead of the head. Now I've fixed:

% ssh -l luca  -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPath='tramp.%C' -o
ControlPersist=no -e none miguel

however, nothing has changed, and launching emacs with tramp verbose:

% /opt/emacs/emacs26.3/bin/emacs -Q --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 10)'

and opening an ssh file I got emacs frozen as before, but the tramp
buffer does not shows anything at all even after minutes.

I'm quite depressed!
