2025-09-17ssh: T7839: add deprecation warning for DSA hostkey-algorithm usageChristian Breunig
OpenSSH in Debian Trixie has removed support for ssh-dss (DSA) keys, which will prevent users with such keys from logging in after upgrade. To avoid lockouts, add a loud deprecation warning when users log in using a DSA key. This warning advises affected users to replace their keys with a supported algorithm (e.g., ed25519 or RSA) before the upgrade. Deprecation warning will be displayed during "commit" but also as MOTD to inform on this issue during every login. DEPRECATION WARNING: Support for SSH-DSA keys is deprecated and will be removed in VyOS 1.6. Please update affected keys to a supported algorithm (e.g., RSA, ECDSA or ED25519) to avoid authentication failures after the upgrade. The following hostkey-algorithms are in use: ssh-dss, ssh-dss-cert-v01@openssh.com
