On a hunch, when this happened to me, I looked at the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/ssh.template and found an incongruity: the last two records aren't separated by a blank line. I assume that this means that debconf believes that they're a single record, and thus chokes and dies. Adding the line back in made the upgrade work again.
