    Control: reassign -1 openssh-server 1:7.6p1-2

    The "Too many authentication failures" error came from sshd,
    so this should have been in openssh-server, not openssh-client.

    I don't know the current status since as a workaround, I currently
    use IdentityFile + IdentitiesOnly on my current machines. But not
    every SSH client might have that.

    According to <https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/1263>,
    trying multiple public keys is legitimate.
