Bug Description
Binary package hint: gstm
There are several well-audited, well-supported implementations of ssh-askpass available in ubuntu (for example, ssh-askpass-gnome). Given the bugs in gstm's gaskpass utility (#276517 #276525 #276529 #276530) it seems like it would make sense to drop that utility and defer to the more widely-used ssh-askpass implementations.
I imagine this is a drop-in (er, drop-out?) replacement, and the maintainers could guarantee that ssh-askpass was present by adjusting the Depends: line in the package description to include ssh-askpass.

I've attached a patch that removes the calls to gaskpass and changes the Depends: accordingly.
