Hi folks,

from packages.debian.org:

unstable ssh 1:3.5p1-4 testing ssh 1:3.4p1-4
stable ssh 1:3.4p1-1

Those packet numbers correspond in some way with the open ssh versions.
Do you see what I mean? And in stable and testing open ssh 3.4 is to be
found. 3.5 only in unstable.

debian released woody (currently stable) with openssh 3.4p1. It's been tested (and regression-tested) against all the other software in debian (well, at least the depends:


glen@buzz:/etc/network$ apt-cache depends ssh
ssh
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libpam0g
  Depends: libssl0.9.6
  Depends: libwrap0
  Depends: zlib1g
  Depends: libpam-modules
  Depends: debconf
  Depends: adduser
  Suggests: ssh-askpass
    ssh-askpass-gnome
  Suggests: xbase-clients
  Suggests: dpkg
  Suggests: dnsutils
  Conflicts: <ssh-nonfree>
  Conflicts: <ssh-socks>
  Conflicts: ssh2
  Conflicts: debconf
  Conflicts: debconf-tiny
  Conflicts: <sftp>
  Conflicts: rsh-client
)

Any security bugs are backported to the stable version, and the security team will consider upgrading if a fix can't be backported (AFAIK).

all this can be found at http://www.debian.org/security/

openssh3.5p1 will end up in testing once it's been in unstable without any changes after two weeks. At the present moment, there are some major (libc) upgrades happening which makes upgrading to testing/unstable non-trivial, to put it mildly. Again, all this information is available at http://www.debian.org/
