Try:
apt-cache search ssh
See if that pulls up ssh2.
Also, OpenSSH, packaged as ssh, has support for the ssh2 protocol. I know
that installs :). See the bug reports for ssh, http://bugs.debian.org/ssh,
though ( specifically bug 95576 ) if you have IPv6 on your box. Last I
checked you have to uncomment the entries for ssh protocol 2 and sftp in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config. Easy enough, though :).
