      Fix wsssh-server Debian package dependencies · e2e4c4ec
      nextime authored
      - Removed unnecessary Python package dependencies from debian/control

        - python3-flask-login
        - python3-flask-sqlalchemy
        - python3-pty

      - Updated package description to clarify it's a standalone binary
      - This resolves dpkg dependency issues when installing on remote machines
