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?
Sorry. I should have mentioned that! The reason I noticed this at all is
that I ran into the below situation when installing openssh-client built
on 10.04 but from 12.04's debsrc:

What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openssh-server: Depends: openssh-client (= 1:5.3p1-3ubuntu7) but
1:5.9p1-5ubuntu1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
ski@mandela:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following packages will be REMOVED:

After this operation, 819kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? ^C
