I can build non-us for slink. How does that sound?

You don't need to upgrade to potato. You need to install gmp2 and gmp2-dev and
you should be able to compile ssh out of the box.

I can't comment on that, I never had any problems but I suspect that may be
because I compiled up 2.2.x the day I installed slink.
