    * What if I have devices that only support DSA?

    Removing DSA from OpenSSH will not remove endpoints that require DSA
    from the world and users may still need to connect to them. Although
    new releases of OpenSSH will no longer support DSA, past releases and
    alternate SSH implementations will continue to do so.

    We recommend that users with an ongoing need to connect to DSA-only
    endpoints maintain a legacy release of an OpenSSH client for this
    purpose, similar to what was recommended when support for the SSHv1
    protocol was removed.

    For example, Debian maintains a "openssh-client-ssh1" package built
    from OpenSSH 7.5 for the purpose of connecting to SSHv1 endpoints.
    This package or something similar is likely to be sufficient for
    DSA-only endpoints too.
