SSH on Debian

[Blake Barnett]

Why aren't there .debs available for debian?  I'd really like to be able to
use dpkg / apt-get for ssh on multiple boxes. The only thing I can guess is
that it's a licensing issue, but there's nothing in non-free or contrib.
I'm happy to create my own packages... but I wonder why Debian isn't
supporthing this?

There should be no reasons why it's not included in the distribution as far
as I can see.  (The OpenSSH implementation anyway.)  Can anyone clarify this
for me?
