Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1), libncurses4 (>= 4.2-3.1), xlib6g (>= 3.3.2.3a-2)
Recommends: ssh (>= 1.2.26-1)
Filename: dists/unstable/non-US/non-free/binary-i386/ssh2_2.0.13-2.deb

Note that this is in the potato (unstable) distribution.  (Being crypto,
it is of course in non-US.)  ssh2 was never part of slink, afaik.

Also note this line from the package description:
"Note that ssh2 has a more restrictive license than ssh v1.x"

To install it, after ascertaining your /etc/apt/sources.list contains
the non-US unstable archive, do the following as root:
  # apt-get update ; apt-get install ssh2

Being crypto, I recommend you read the associated documentation after
installation.

  $ lynx /usr/doc/ssh2/
is one way to do so.  (HINT: There is a non-standard port used, which
is documented there.)
