It sounds like you're using the 'ssh2' package. This is the non-free and
unmaintained-in-Debian ssh.com version. I suggest you try the 'ssh'
package instead, which is from the OpenSSH project, is free, and despite
the name confusion supports the ssh version 2 protocol.
(I'm the only person who's worked on ssh2 at all over the last six
months, and only to fix those bugs that were particularly nasty or could
be fixed reasonably easily. I suspect ssh2 may be removed at some point
in the next release cycle unless a new Debian maintainer is found for
it.)

Without, largely because, as far as I can see, nobody complained about
it before. Please file a bug in case somebody does decide to work on
ssh2 again.
