$ dpkg -p ssh | grep -B2 remove
This metapackage is a convenient way to install both the OpenSSH client
and the OpenSSH server. It provides nothing in and of itself, so you
may remove it if nothing depends on it.

I think noting depends on it, so I tried to remove it.
$ aptitude -sy remove ssh | grep -A2 REMOVED
The following packages will be REMOVED:
openssh-server{u} ssh
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I do want openssh-server. Which doesn't strictly depend on ssh:
$ dpkg -p openssh-server | grep Depends | grep ' ssh'
$
As the reason is openssh-server is marked automatically by its pull
by ssh, should ssh's description made more accurate:
$ dpkg -p ssh | grep -A3 Description | diff ~/description -
2,4c2,4
