Of course they should! My only concern about distributing the stock 
system with built-in ssh is not getting the most current version. As 
far as I can recall ssh 1.2.27 replaces sprintf with snprintf, and 
previous versions fix bugs. That alone may be a good reason for not 
keeping a separate development tree of ssh within the project.

Maybe the best solution would be to have sysinstall ask for it at the 
end of the installation procedure, just like it does with Apache or 
NFS. And then, of course, install the *real* package.

I'm a proud UUCP user, but I wouldn't mind having to install it as a 
package, if the final result will be the same (modulo a couple of sed 
-e "s@usr@usr/local@g" maybe).
