+From 7ba31c6ff505278fb9f33b695605ca3a093caba2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: Various keepalive extensions
+
+Add compatibility aliases for ProtocolKeepAlives and SetupTimeOut, supported
+in previous versions of Debian's OpenSSH package but since superseded by
+ServerAliveInterval. (We're probably stuck with this bit for
+compatibility.)
+
+In batch mode, default ServerAliveInterval to five minutes.
+
+Adjust documentation to match and to give some more advice on use of
+keepalives.
