Dear Maintainer,

The BLOCK_TIME_MULTIPLIER configuration option is implemented
in the project: https://github.com/SSHGuard/sshguard

However, it has not been included in any Debian package yet.
Verified on the following Salsa branches/tags:

- master
- debian/2.4.3
- debian/2.5.1-2

None of these include BLOCK_TIME_MULTIPLIER in
examples/sshguard.conf.sample or as a configurable option.

Could you please let us know when this feature will be
included in the Debian package, or if there is a planned
timeline for syncing with the upstream GitHub release?
Thanks for maintaining this project
