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.
