Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.7p1-5
Severity: minor

Consider this: man ssh

     -p port
             Port to connect to on the remote host.  This can be specified on
             a per-host basis in the configuration file.

man scp

     -P port
             Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host.  Note that
             this option is written with a capital 'P', because -p is already
             reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in
             rcp(1).

     -p      Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
             original file.


SUGGESTION

It's inconstent that the options differ in both programs. Please unify
to use option "-p" for port in both programs.

        scp:

        -p      Port ...
        -P      preserves modification
