Hi!

This is the second part of https://bugs.debian.org/1131028

Upstream has provided an advisory:

https://github.com/tillitis/tkeyclient/security/advisories/GHSA-4w7r-3222-8h6v

While this could be handled by a security patch, due to the complexity
of upstream's recommended solution (involving patches to both
'golang-github-tillitis-tkeyclient' and 'tkey-ssh-agent') and low
end-user impact, it was suggested on #debian-security to use the
proposed-updated mechanism instead to update both packages to latest
upstream version.

I'm attaching the debdiff between tkey-ssh-agent 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 in
unstable, and I suggest something similar could be uploaded to
trixie-proposed-updates.

What do you think?  Is this an acceptable way to resolve this?

If so I can prepare the final real version of these packages.

[ Impact ]
If this isn't adopted, one out of 256 users that provides a USS secret
will not actually make use of the USS, thus possibly lowering their
perceived security.

[ Tests ]
This is upstream patches, so presumably well tested.

[ Risks ]
There is always a risk upstream's patches are buggy and cause unrelated
problems.
