Surely it's not truly obsolete!
Debian's `official' ssh package is now OpenSSH, a DSFG compliant re-implementation of the commercial version. The original non-free ssh (I think its license had restrictions on commercial use) has been renamed to ssh-nonfree, with OpenSSH assuming the `ssh' name. It's intended to be a "drop-in" replacement for the original, and for the most part (from what I've heard) seems to fit the bill. -Kevin
