Thanks for looking into this. I backported
https://github.com/net-ssh/net-ssh/pull/838 to bullseye. It did not
apply cleanly, but that was mainly due to reformating (indentation,
spaces etc) that was done since the the version in bullseye and the one
the patch was written against.

The resulting package builds fine passing its test suite, and passes
autopkgtest as well.

However, I don't have a stable system where I can run vagrant and test
this. Would one of you be able to test the attached .deb on a stable
system, with vagrant from stable? The source is
