Minimum version to see the SHA256 checksum of the key is (according to
the openssh changelog) 6.8/6.8p1 (2015-03-18). Looks like Jessie is 6.7p1.

Neither the server nor the client sends (or expects) a key with a
certain fingerpint hashing scheme -- it's done on the fly (you can see
this effect with the '-o FingerprintHash=' option of newer clients.
