tsocks/torsocks is an LD_PRELOAD hack (with the supposedly safer
torsocks spouting out unnecessary warnings), so it is better to avoid
using them when possible.

ssh supports proxification via an external program. Specify
  ProxyCommand /usr/bin/connect -S 127.0.0.1:9050 %h %p
in your ~/.ssh/config (substituting 9050 with the Tor SOCKS port), and
install or manually compile the "connect" proxy:
http://www.meadowy.org/~gotoh/ssh/connect-r100.c (net-misc/connect
package in Gentoo, connect-proxy in Debian).
