Description

Description of Issue

The bootstrap-salt.sh does not install salt-ssh. Salt-ssh is part of the salt programs as salt-minion or salt-syndic. There is also no option to include salt-ssh. It would be nice to be able to install the LTS or SLS versions as it does with salt and salt-minion.

Currently I use the deb files for installing salt-ssh but this method will be out of support after a certain period.

Setup

Not applicable

###Steps to reproduce

root@mysaltmaster:/home/hans/Programs# ./bootstrap-salt.sh onedir 3007.0
Versions

The salt installation is on a debian 12 virtual machine. The version of bootstrap is downloaded on 2023-12-23 with curl -o bootstrap-salt.sh -L https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/releases/latest/download/bootstrap-salt.sh.

Research direction

Start with bootstrap-salt.sh and reproduce the Debian 12 command shown in the issue using the onedir 3007.0 arguments. Trace how the script selects Salt programs and package versions, then verify that the requested salt-ssh installation options cover the LTS or SLS versions and that the resulting installation includes salt-ssh.
