Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.6.1p2-9

Several of the entries in ssh's debconf templates files are asking
questions, but their descriptions don't end with an '?' mark.  If
debconf is configured to use the readline frontend, or perhaps others
with few visual cues as to what's going on, this punctuation is quite
important.

I appear to have fixed this a long time ago:

openssh (1:4.3p2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [...]
  * Rephrase ssh/new_config and ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen debconf
    templates to make boolean short descriptions end with a question mark
    and to avoid use of the first person.
  [...]
