I just did push the serie, so I think you could maybe adapt the openssh
package used by the Hurd and remove the snippet above, if it's ok for
you?

Yes I share your concerns on that one, sadly I don't have much better to
propose, and I think it's important to have a bare-bones template as
minimal as possible. Anyway, this is not a big hack and it will be easy
to revert it if we find a better way.

Thanks,

Mathieu
