Bug#729526: ssh.deb: somewhat misleading description

[Regid Ichira <regid23@nt1.in>]

Package:  ssh
Version:  1:6.4p1-1
Severity: minor
Tags:     patch

    $ dpkg -p ssh | grep -B2 remove
      This metapackage is a convenient way to install both the OpenSSH client
      and the OpenSSH server. It provides nothing in and of itself, so you
      may remove it if nothing depends on it.
    $

  I think noting depends on it, so I tried to remove it.

    $ aptitude -sy remove ssh | grep -A2 REMOVED
    The following packages will be REMOVED:
      openssh-server{u} ssh
    0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
   
  I do want openssh-server.  Which doesn't strictly depend on ssh:

    $ dpkg -p openssh-server | grep Depends | grep ' ssh'
    $ 

  As the reason is openssh-server is marked automatically by its pull
by ssh, should ssh's description made more accurate:

    $ dpkg -p ssh | grep -A3 Description | diff ~/description -
    2,4c2,4
    <  This metapackage is a convenient way to install, and possibly keep
    <  installed, both the OpenSSH client and the OpenSSH server. It
    <  provides nothing in and of itself.
