Hello Michael,
I am using dpkg, so dpkg --get-selections | grep "openssh-*".
apt-get upgrade, by default won't upgrade held packages.
There is a option in apt-get manual:
--ignore-hold
Ignore package Holds; This causes apt-get to ignore a hold
placed on a package. This may be
useful in conjunction with dist-upgrade to override a large
number of undesired holds.
Configuration Item: APT::Ignore-Hold.
Which, I assume then will overwrite the default behavior.
Thanks
Ben
