Lads can we get something done on this. Remmina is a very nice unified remote access client but SSH is so slow on it with this bug it's unusable.

To work around the problem I've installed libssh-4 from Debian Sid. This might help someone else seeing as nothing is happening on getting the update into Maverick.

Installing the package from Natty also works fine and solves the bug.

the git url is leading to empaty webpage and there is no debdiff or vcs to sponsor, unsubscribing the sponsors, could you update the bug with a debdiff and subscribe ubuntu-sponsors again once done?
