Why don't you try? All arguments are better received with a patch.

Sure! :)

Where can I find instructions on how to setup my own build and test environment for OpenSSH development on Ubuntu 14.04? Any official OpenSSH design rules I should consider (apart from following the style already used in the source code)?

The initial dialog example (that motivated me to send the initial email to the list) comes from a system based on SLED 11 SP3.

When checking, the actual dialog presented at login is identical to what happens when you run the passwd command in the shell to change your password. Thus it seems like the dialog texts does not originate from OpenSSH itself. So the "culprit" might actually be PAM...

I think there's a good case to be made for OpenSSH to not provide any
instructions at all unless it is in charge of the dialog itself.

Have you checked that the current instructions are actually output by
OpenSSH? The string seems to be in openbsd-compat/bsd-cray.c inside
#ifdef _UNICOS


Login As: Foobar
Password:
Your password has expired. Retype your old password.
I'd argue simply for "Your password has expired."

Old Password:
Choose a new password.
New Password:
Retype your new password
New Password:

Could this be implemented without the need for caching any password
