ssh2 is the "commercial" (non-free) version. ssh is the free version (i.e. OpenSSH). I got real confused about the difference too. The (commercial) ssh author has a point, in his recent complaints about trademark confusion. Although really in our case it's Debian that's at fault, not OpenSSH, since we're the ones calling the package ssh instead of openssh. Anyway, I run ssh from unstable. ssh -V says: SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0p1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. Compiled with SSL (0x0090600f). and the man page has a whole section talking about "SSH protocol version 2". So sounds to me what you really want is ssh from unstable, rather than ssh2.
