The SSH in stable only supports version 1 of the SSH protocol; if you
configure your "testing" machine to accept that older version of the
protocol (by putting "Protocol 2,1" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarting
ssh), SSH-ing from your stable machines works.

You'll need testing's apt (plus its depencencies) for that. The following
should work (though I'm not aware of people actually using this
configuration as most simply fully upgrade to testing, so you may want to
use the "-s" flag to apt-get to see what it intends to do before actually
doing these steps):
- add "testing" entries to /etc/apt/sources.list in addition to the entries
for "stable"
- "apt-get update"
- "apt-get install apt"
- create an /etc/apt/preferences with contents
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
to have apt default to the stable versions
- install testing's ssh by requesting it explicitly:
"apt-get -t testing install ssh"
