The latest version of openssh-server depends on openssh-blacklist due
to the security problems with openssl that came up recently. If you
only use "apt-get upgrade", openssh-server won't get upgraded because
"upgrade" refuses to install new packages. Did openssh-blacklist get
installed too when you used dselect?
