Maybe.  Wouldn't it be kind of weird if you upgraded just openssh-client
and now /usr/share/doc/openssh-server/changelog.Debian.gz claimed a
newer version, though?  (To avoid wasting space,
/usr/share/doc/openssh-server is a symlink to openssh-client.)

I'm not implacably opposed to changing this, but since it would cause
slight oddities like this I'd need a reason.  What practical problem is
this causing?

Cheers,
