Put these lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://non-us.debian.org/ unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free
  deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/ unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free

(The second line is for sources as well as binaries.)

Then 'dselect update' and 'apt-get install ssh'.

Cheers,
