Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:4.3p2-6
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Hello,
Replacing Sarge "ssh" package with Etch "openssh-server" and
"openssh-client" package causes the host keypairs to be unduely
regenerated, and the old keys are permanently erased and lost.
This is very annoying for SSH users.

Only if you --purge ssh during the upgrade, which will get done before
installing the new split packages, thereby unavoidably removing the old
configuration files. Don't do that. See bug #397439 for further details.
