openssh vs ssh

["John L. Fjellstad" <john-list@fjellstad.org>]

I'm curious to why the openssh program has the package name of ssh 
in Debian?

It's somewhat confusing, because Debian also has a ssh package called
ssh2, which, from what I understand, is the non-free version. It is
somewhat confusing, because the newest version of OpenSSH (2.1.1p4)
is actually equivalent to ssh2.  

The way it is currently packaged, it sounds like ssh2 is the 'next
generation' ssh, when in fact, they are two different programs giving
the same functionality.
