In my recent experience between Suse 11.1 and 12.3, the /etc/ssh config files use different ciphers (found via diff'ing the files), hence the keys generated are incompatible. I haven't spent time to fix this yet. I'd welcome news if others have found a fix.
While the different versions may generate use different ciphers when creating a key, does that make any difference to users? IIRC, different ciphers can be selected when creating a key, but any cipher should be usable.
If the public key of the client machine was created using a cipher not accessible to the server machine, then how can the server translate the key to validate a client login? (I am talking about automated passwordless logins) ---
There hasn't been any loss of cyphers, that I can recall. they are all still available, even those that are no longer recommended. Newer installations no longer have ssh1 turned on by default, but that is a one-line fix in sshd_conf if you want to still support that. --
