hmm OK well you may want to look at 
/usr/share/doc/openssh-server/changelog.Debian.gz for any package changes. 
I'm not running Syd anywhere so can't be of much help.

Firstly, openssh-server is the package name, the binary is called sshd. 
And it's in /usr/sbin which won't be in a regular user's path.

If you want to see the package version for any package, you can run:

dpkg -s openssh-server

HTH,
