Don't use version 1 unless you really have SSH v.1 around. SSH2 only
would be a whole lot better in security terms. dpkg-reconfigure ssh
to change the setting should do it.

See various threads on this: you are not the only one with eth0/eth1
changes - it is possible to force an interface to an eth mapping. This

In addition to installing SSH, did you install anything else or do an
apt-get update which brought in a whole load of packages?
As someone else said: which version: testing/Etch or unstable/Sid?
If running unstable/Sid - did it pull in avahi or zeroconf?

apt-get remove <packagename> ; dpkg -P <packagename> will remove and purge
