Re: The same debian - different packages

As far as my understanding goes, ssh was patched recently for security 
fixes, so it should be coming from security.debian.org not us.debian.org.
Now security.debian.org is not at all mirrored for security reason than 
how he has 2 different versions of ssh ?
1 Does he has proper /etc/apt/sources.list which includes ssh also
2 what are the dependencies for for versions of ssh
