btw, from the debian-user list; xauth is a recommended dependency of openssh-server which can be disabled when using apt-get with the --no-install-recommends option.

I suppose this is obvious, but why not ask on the Debian list? You can
join them for free.

You'll have to register, or course.
thanks, i just did that.
i was hoping there was an easy solution for this and it's sorta a dpkg / apt-get issue so i figured it'd apply here as well.
btw, i was wrong on the apt-get switch, there's a dependency switch for
dpkg but not apt-get and i'm still stuck with either no ssh or x
libraries...
