 The pkgsrc version is not a "total unknown" libssh. It is just a very
 old version of the one that is now on libssh.org.
 
 If you don't believe me, check it out yourself:
 # git clone git://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git libssh
 # cd libssh
 # git log -v | tail -7

 (here follow about 2000 lines of changes since 0.11 and 0.12-dev)
 
 Also compare the email with the HOMEPAGE of the libssh package:
 HOMEPAGE=       http://0xbadc0de.be/
 
 So you can argue that we should have updated the package a long time
 ago, but that's true of quite a number of packages.
