If I were to do this, then while at the office, the laptop would
"call home", meaning that transfer between my desktop and the laptop
would not go directly over gigabit, but have to traverse ADSL twice
on both ends, office→home→home→office.

My laptop an "call in" to the VPN any time, and if it does, then
it'll be found. Cf. the ProxyCommand I just sent, subdomain
rw.madduck.net.

Thanks everyone for their help and ideas, and Luca Filipozzi for the
fping hint.
