I am running Ubuntu 06.10 (OK, it is newer than Debian 3.1), which offers

arthur:~> ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006

Which ssh version are you running? Do you know a simple test to
determine whether a given ssh version offers ControlMaster?

What are the symptoms when Tramp does "not work at all on current
stable Debian GNU/Linux"?
