+autossh for Debian README
+=========================
+autossh is wrapped to choose a random port or fall back to 21021 the real
+binary is /usr/lib/autossh/autossh
+
+In this version of autossh the commandline switch -M overrides AUTOSSH_PORT
+environment, as opposed to default upstream behaviour (see
+http://bugs.debian.org/238150#msg6 and following)
+
+Note: if your ssh client/server version is recent enough you can obtain similar
+behaviour by setting ClientAliveCountMax and ServerAliveInterval in
+/etc/ssh/sshd_config. See sshd_config(5).

+This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream
+source. Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in
+debian/patches and applied during the build.
+
+To configure quilt to use debian/patches instead of patches, you want
+either to export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches in your environment
+or use this snippet in your ~/.quiltrc:
+
+ for where in ./ ../ ../../ ../../../ ../../../../ ../../../../../; do
+ if [ -e ${where}debian/rules -a -d ${where}debian/patches ]; then
+ export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
+ break
+ fi
+ done
+
+To get the fully patched source after unpacking the source package, cd to
+the root level of the source package and run:
+
+ quilt push -a
+
+The last patch listed in debian/patches/series will become the current
+patch.
+
+To add a new set of changes, first run quilt push -a, and then run:
+
+ quilt new <patch>
+
+where <patch> is a descriptive name for the patch, used as the filename in
+debian/patches. Then, for every file that will be modified by this patch,
+run:
+
+ quilt add <file>
+
+before editing those files. You must tell quilt with quilt add what files
+will be part of the patch before making changes or quilt will not work
+properly. After editing the files, run:
+
+ quilt refresh
+
+to save the results as a patch.
+
+Alternately, if you already have an external patch and you just want to
+add it to the build system, run quilt push -a and then:
+
+ quilt import -P <patch> /path/to/patch
+ quilt push -a
+
+(add -p 0 to quilt import if needed). <patch> as above is the filename to
+use in debian/patches. The last quilt push -a will apply the patch to
+make sure it works properly.
+
+To remove an existing patch from the list of patches that will be applied,
+run:
+
+ quilt delete <patch>
+
+You may need to run quilt pop -a to unapply patches first before running
+this command.

+Description: Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels
+ autossh is a program to start an instance of ssh and monitor it, restarting it
+ as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic. The idea is from rstunnel
+ (Reliable SSH Tunnel), but implemented in C. Connection monitoring is done
+ using a loop of port forwardings. It backs off on the rate of connection
+ attempts when experiencing rapid failures such as connection refused.
