[dput-ng-maint] Bug#706723: dput-ng: dput sftp method does not work with GSS-API

[Paul Tagliamonte]

Heyya Russ,

Yikes. Yep. ACK'd. We use paramiko, which is what fabric (and friends)
uses.

See an open ticket at https://bugs.launchpad.net/paramiko/+bug/507391

For sure. We'll keep scp alive so long as this is an issue for you,
sure. No problem.

Thanks for flying dput-ng air!
