  1. Use libgit2 from "unstable" / "sid" 

    We received reports from users no longer being able to clone Git
repositories using libgit2 because of errors during the cloning
attempt: `error: Failed to authenticate SSH session: Unable to extract
public key from private key.`

After an extensive scavenger hunt I was able to pinpoint the issue to
`libssh2` being linked against `libgcrypt` instead of `openssl`. The
problem with this is that the libgcrypt backend in libssh2 contains
a hand written slimmed down ASN.1 parser to read out keys, while the
OpenSSL backend in libssh2 uses OpenSSL, which supports a lot more
formats (and more specifically, most PKCS* formats).

As Debian's bullseye/testing repository has been frozen, and a
backport has not been made available yet, fetching the dependency from
"unstable" seems to be the best option for now, as this has `libssh2`
available including OpenSSL.
