Consider merging Debian package support into sslh repository

[Yves Rutschle]

@stokito makes good points:

          I checked and for the next release the version would be indeed the 1.22c.

It turned out that the Ubuntu just republish the package from Debian.
It contains some patches that maybe you can grab to here https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sslh/-/tree/master/debian/patches?ref_type=heads

I created a PR to the debian/default file to replace the --ssl
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sslh/-/merge_requests/2

The Debian package is maintained by @dondelelcaro ([e-mail] Debian IRC: dondelelcaro)

Maybe you guys can collaborate closer? Maybe you @yrutschle can also become a maintainer of own package. And grab the debian folder into the repo and then @dondelelcaro can make direct commits into the folder. With .github/CODEOWNERS you can grant a commit access to a specific folder.

As you see, for me this was tricky to understand to whom and where to report and fix the problem.
The idea that configuration file /etc/default/sslh is not here but in Debian salsa Gitlab repo makes me sad.
First of all you as an author didn't know that that config use the deprecated -ssl. If the file will be here then you will easily found this yourself.

Also I believe that other distros (e.g. Arch, AlmaLinux) may have exactly same config file but with different content that may add a confusion for users who need to use different instructions. That also means that those distros may have a similar bug and use the --ssl.

I just checked my OpenWrt router and it uses the --tls everywhere, 👍

Generally speaking, I would ask you to un-deprecate the option in v2 ether.
For me it looks like not a big deal but many howtos and vidoe tutorials may use the -ssl. This product is used in sensitive situations when users trying to unlock restrictions and they may not have a good instruction. Many of them are non English speakers.
You won't rename the sslh to tlsh, right? 😉

P.S. some bugs are reported in Ubuntu bug tracker that may be interesting for you (one was mine):
