Yeah, well, my initial patch proposed git+ssh:// and I was told that
this was deprecated. The conversation lead to a dead-end with nobody
giving me a clear indication of what I should propose.

So, let us go back to my initial need: have a package compiled based
on a git over ssh URL. Now if you tell me that there is a way to do
this without patching pkg-download.mk, I am all ears. I did not find
any help on that in the documentation, do you have some pointers?
