[Bug 1769284] [NEW] ssh client: blowfish-cbc required - missing in bionic

[Jens Elkner]

Public bug reported:

In bionic openssh client/server ships without blowfish-cbc, arcfour,
arcfour128, arcfour256 and cast128-cbc. Unfortunately they are required
for backward compatibility, especially for embedded devices, which do
not support other ciphers (e.g. Rittal Liquid Cooling Package for
racks).

So disable them per default is ok, but one should still be able to use
them on demand for older, non-upgradable HW/SW envs.

** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu)
