Apologies, to be clear;
I had raised the issue about ssh on tcp/443; not the .onion services.


Incidentally, I have also found my old AUR bug report/feature request about the
same, and (at the time) did not appear to be a difficult feature to implement:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45364
I have no idea how it stands currently, 6.5 years later.

Cheers,
