The correct place for these conflicts is in openssh-client and
openssh-server, and the current versions of those packages do have such
conflicts. I don't think it's appropriate to add them to ssh in sarge,
which is from a line of development predating the split packages.
I'm afraid you simply cannot use the client from unstable and the server
from stable without using dpkg --force-overwrite.
