Compiling openssh from source

[Matt Wehland <mattw@webtripper.com>]

I want to run a protocol v2 compatible version of ssh on a potato 
box.  I've been told to just compile from source, although I have just 
added the later binaries and libraries to a system and had it work before.
My question is where do I find a debianized openssh source package?  It's 
not available in non-us testing, or unstable.  Not much really was.
So should I just build from a tar ball, or just install the binaries and 
required dependencies?

Thanks,
