Note that the 'short-term solution' is an _easy_ fix.  Just edit 
sshd_config and restart sshd.  Do it now, then watch for your vendor to 
issue an update if you're uncomfortable with compiling OpenSSH yourself.

(As an aside, anyone know what's up with Alan Cox suggesting that Theo 
might be trojaning OpenSSH?  That's a heck of an accusation...)
