Most of these should be wishlist bugs rather than posts to debian-user,
so that the maintainers who can actually do something about them see
them. See <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/>.

Upstream moved to one big file long ago, so presumably that's why Debian
followed them.

ssh (from unstable) can do ssh2 itself. You're mixing distributions, so
the dependencies aren't guaranteed to be consistent.

Don't use sendmail then :) exim is a good alternative.

Those packages are considered build-essential, and aren't normally
mentioned in build-dependencies.

There's a sequence of priorities for editors, but if you want to change
them try 'update-alternatives'.
