11.3. Debug Message​

byte      SSH_MSG_DEBUG
boolean   always_display
string    message in ISO-10646 UTF-8 encoding [RFC3629]
string    language tag [RFC3066]

All implementations MUST understand this message, but they are allowed to ignore it silently. This message is used to transmit information that may help debugging problems. If always_display is TRUE, the message SHOULD be displayed. Otherwise, it SHOULD NOT be displayed unless running in verbose mode.

The message does not need to contain a line terminator. It is allowed to consist of multiple lines. If the message is displayed, terminal control character filtering should be used.
