FYI, seahorse also provides ssh-askpass program, but has far more deps that it isn't even worth building it if you are only after that part.

Replying to fo:
The installation instructions I use are very different from debian. I would like to keep them as I use, because have no doubt it works.
Works is good. I think a note that 'ssh-askpass' is a somewhat generic executable name for interoperability reasons and can be found in other packages would be appropriate.

Thanks for all comments.
Tried to be as close as possible to the comments.
Please spend a time reading to correct anything wrong, including definitions, commands, tags, English.
Hopefully fixed at r12536.
Leaving open for a couple of days, until fixes are included.
There are many packages with this name. No one is named like that by the author. Debian uses the name for x11-ssh-askpass, last version is 1.2.4.1, from 2001-Sep-17. Arch has openssh-askpass 2.0.0-2 to provide x11-ssh-askpass, a program based on qt4, also depending on cmake and openssh. Arch also ships x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.4.1.
The package I am considering in this ticket is what is named by Debian ssh-askpass-gnome-6.4p1. It is distributed in the openssh tarball and the c-file dates from 2009, which I believe was the reason for choosing it personaly.
Although x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.4.1 uses only xorg-libs (libxt) and the one I am considering depends also on gtk+2 (and glib, but in BLFS, gtk+2 has it in the dependency chain).
Considering all above, my plan is to call the package ssh-askpass-6.4p1, keeping the version convention as in Debian (same as OpenSSH), but withdrawing the gnome from the name, which could make "non-gnome" users possibly avoid it even before checking the dependencies. Also, I know the name I use is recognized by all packages involved.
The installation instructions I use are very different from debian. I would like to keep them as I use, because have no doubt it works.
I will wait until tomorrow, before starting to edit the page. Perhaps tomorrow or the day after, I would, then, commit.
With this, I hope, any objection can be made before, or in the days following the inclusion of the page in the book, so it could be easily reverted, hopefully avoiding future problems.
