Probably processor speed.

It does not disable ssh1. ssh1 is used for a connection if either the
clients calls an ssh1 element, or if the server is using only ssh1.
This is carried out by passing the call to the ssh1 counterpart programs.
Therefore ssh1 must also be installed, and moreover, ssh1 package should
be installed before installing ssh2 package, if you want to maintain
compatibility with ssh1.
No problem used to come forth when installing it.
