simple really. when openssh2 came out debian potato(stable) was already
frozen. frozen means no new packages unless they are critical bug fixes.
openssh2 is a huge upgrade and is not worth the risk for the current
system. the next version of debian will have a newer version of openssh,
not sure which one, check packages.debian.org to see which one is
in the 'testing' distribution.
