We had several proposals to solve this issue on this list but
nobody got his hands on it. If you really think it's needed
do it. That's the normal way how open source works.

IMHO it's useless to provide a scponlyc binary in a package
cause everybody has own wishes where the chroot enviroment
should be build up. Other points are that systems change.
That is also the case in the Debian unstable and testing
branchess so there is no good way to ensure that all lib
names fit.
