I think that would be a good idea.  The version string is unfortunately
just "Twisted".  That's actually OK for past versions since the bug goes
back so far, but it would be a shame for future versions.  I've filed
https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9424 with a patch to improve the
version string.

Assuming my patch is accepted, I think you could make "Twisted" be
SSH_BUG_DEBUG and "Twisted_*" not.
