Not sure why a downgraded openssh would improve things for you if this is the
issue, however I faced the same issue as yourself and it was caused by mDNS
trying to do a reverse lookup on the host connecting in to the affected server,
ultimately causing the SSH connection to hang.
Check that the order of sources on the hosts line of you /etc/nsswitch.conf[1]
file on the server that you are having issues _connecting to_, not the desktop
that you're connecting from.
Mine is:
`hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal mdns4`
Note `dns` is before `mdns4`.
