I know I can tweak it -- that's Emacs, I can advise any function -- but
that's not the issue.  I expect Emacs to work optimally out of the box on
an up-to-date Debian testing box, and this is not the case.

Ideally, tramp should use a less fragile method to check for ControlMaster
support; if that's not possible, it should at least use a regexp that's
permissive enough to work on recent OpenSSH.

Please fix Emacs to detect ControlMaster out of the box with recent Debian.
