Well there are ebuilds in bugzilla but carpaski set them to fixed without
bothering to add them to the official portage tree as noone seemed to be
interested in those ebuilds. Maybe you have better luck this time. Tell us
about the bug report here so we can all post, so it gets in this time :)

Well if you figure it out, send the patches to the maintainers, they probably
just didn't add such things as nobody complained and they don't see a need
for that. Was the same with a DESTDIR variable in chrony until I wanted to
make an ebuild. Richard was quite pleased with the patch once he saw the need
for that.
Also if you read the man pages or some other sources and see the "*this stuff
is insecure*" notices, they are all from 98 or 99. Nothing like that for the
newer releases (well the man pages still contain it but they were not updated
since 99) although I of course don't have the expertise to check myself if
lsh is secure. But you might find it interesting that some people from the
de.alt.sysadmin.recovery newsgroup will probably review the lsh codebase to
their best knowledge. Naturally they want to get rid of openssh now :)
