 One of the annoying things about B<svn-buildpackage> is that when you check out
 a package using the C<svn+ssh> protocol, it will ask your password pretty often
 when building, say 25 times.  This tends to get annoying by the second time you
-have to type in your password.  This will save you some password typing:
-
-    ssh-copy-id [-i identity.pub] user at svn.debian.org
-
-Beware that the Alioth maintainers delete the C<authorized_keys> automatically
-after an hour or so.
-
-If you're really 1337, you can use the web interface on Alioth to install your
-SSH public key permanently.  Use the following URI to do that:
-L<https://alioth.debian.org/account/editsshkeys.php>
-
-You can also consider the use of an ssh-agent (see L<ssh-agent(1)>, included in
-the C<ssh> package, for more information).
+have to type in your password.  To avoid this, upload your public SSH key in
+the alioth account area (L<https://alioth.debian.org/account/editsshkeys.php>).
+
+Note that even if ssh-copy-id seem to work, this is only temporary since the
+authorized_keys file is re-generated from the alioth account info every now and
+then.
+
+To avoid typing even the public key passphrase you may want to run SSH agent
+(see L<ssh-agent(1)>, included in the openssh-client package).
