As the fix is in Jammy I think we can mark the devel task as Fix
Released.

I doubt this is SRU material as the impact of the bug is really low;
maybe it could be done with a staged upload [1]. I'm marking the SRU
tasks as Triaged as the bug is well understood.

Bug description:
  The release of OpenSSH 8.2 has removed `ssh-rsa` from the default list
  of CACertificateAlgorithms. However the latest `openssh-client` still
  ships the man page for ssh_config(5) that contains the following
  description:

       CASignatureAlgorithms
               Specifies which algorithms are allowed for signing of certificates 
               by certificate authorities (CAs).  The default is:

                     ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
                     ssh-ed25519,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa

               ssh(1) will not accept host certificates signed using algorithms 
               other than those specified.

  As far as I am concerned, `ssh-rsa` should be dropped from the list so
  as to match the behavior of ssh(1).
