Um, debian's had ssh packaged longer than any other dist. Several years.
It used to be ssh1, but they switched to OpenSSH some time ago.
Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb
http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
What I want to know is why the other dists don't have OpenSSH? There were
probs with making ssh avail in the .us, which is why debian's had it on
non-us, but OpenSSH fixed the license probs and import/export of crypto
stuff was relaxed.

Exactly. Neither RedHat or Mandrake have it. SuSE did, but only for the
non-US dist. I'm told RedHat 7.0 will finally have it.
