Hi Markus,
I think you'll find this is an undocumented feature of ssh-nonfree,
and that OpenSSH is implementing the manual as it's written. That
hardly qualifies as an ``Important'' bug IMO. ``Wishlist'', maybe.
Anyway, if the upstream authors agree that it shouldn't choke on equal
signs, as I do, then it'll get changed, but I don't think it's
important enough to make Debian's behaviour differ from the rest.
Cheers, Phil.
