Okay, when you said install I was thinking it was the aplication you 
were installing. Okay, in this case you have no options other than 
restoring an old /etc/ssh/ (assuming that is where you put it) over the 
new one after the OS install is complete.

It doesn't even give you the option of building from source? Thats kind 
of stupid. I really don't use package managers much so I'm always 
surprised by them.
