dput and dput-ng are using "scp" and don't offer any simple way to
configure command line parameters and the switch to "sftp-behind-the-back"
broke dput for me with some targets (cf #1011063).

I would have liked to be able to add something like this in ~/.ssh/config:

Host deb.freexian.com
    UseLegacyScp true

And be done with it. But there's no such option. It would be nice if
upstream could implement this.

It would be best if you could forward this upstream yourself
(https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/), since that way you can advocate for it
directly.

Thanks,
