I'd agree with your assessment that it's picking up the wrong ssh-keygen,
as I was thinking that by the time you suggested it :)

chmod 000 `which ssh-keygen`
sshd -p somehighnumber22
apt-get install ssh
At least that way you still have either the old or possibly even the new
sshd listening on 22, and a backup entry-point if you need it.
I'd recommend the middle step every time you're about to play with the ssh
package as a precaution on a remote machine anyway (unless you're lucky
enough to have a serial console toy).
