So looked around a bit more here....
Apparently this is the reason libmd-dev is installed:
openssh b-d libedit-dev
libedit-dev dep libbsd-dev
libbsd-dev dep libmd-dev
Both libmd-dev and libbsd-dev seems to have had recent changes.
>From libbsd (0.11.1-1) changelog:
```
- Switch from embedded hashing function implementations to use libmd.
Add libmd-dev to Build-Depends and libbsd-dev Depends.
```
I have not yet looked up what the configure results where for the
last successful openssh build, but I suspect that the situation back
then was that SHA256Update et.al. where not found and the openssh compat
sha2.h was used, but this was not a problem because libmd-dev (which
provides /usr/lib/sha2.h) was not pulled in back then either...
Simply introducing an opennsh `Build-Conflicts: libmd-dev` will not work
now that we have a dependency chain which will pull it in via libedit-dev.
I suspect the way out of this is to simply improve the openssh configure
now...
