(~)% dpkg -l ssh | grep ssh
ii  ssh               3.0.1p1-1.2       Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement (OpenSSH)

So you'd do:

% su
% apt-get update
% apt-get -u install ssh

Just remember when apt-get install ssh <g>, dpkg will do all the 
configuration that's needed. Don't attempt to run sshd from inetd.

Check out the -i option in sshd(8) for an explanation.

(I think sshd knows libwrap too, so still check out hosts_access(5))
