it took me a while to figure out that "ssh" contains "sshd"
whereas, say, "telnet" is the client and "telnetd" is the
server. with "ssh" the package wonk put all pieces into the one
package, so you get both client and server in one swell foop.
probably a good reason for it, tho i dunno what it is.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #14 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
What's a RUNLEVEL? It's simply a big-time setting group;
runlevel 2 might have a full-blown web server plus X running,
and runlevel 3 might be ssh-only, for secure logins. Check
/etc/inittab (and /etc/rc<RUNLEVEL>.d/*) for details on how
yours are set up. And try "man runlevel".
