If I remember correctly, then ssh2 offers some authentication and chroot
options, that are not available with OpenSSH. And I'm not sure if all
those features will be implemented into OpenSSH too. So therefor I would
be for keeping that package around and only agree with it's removal, if
our ssh maintainer also agrees with such a removal, because he be should
know best the differences from OpenSSH to the commercial ssh
client/server. And if it's worth it to keep both around or not.
