The 'ssh' package is a metapackage and contains nothing other than the
dependencies. Purging it and reinstalling it won't do what you hope.
What you are suggesting would need to purge and reinstall the
openssh-client and openssh-server packages. (Due to popular demand
the ssh package in Sarge was split into two packages, openssh-client
and openssh-server, for Etch.)
I agree that is probably a good route. Becuase it looks to me like a
post installation misconfiguration and that would be the most direct
way to get everything clean again.
