I followed the steps someone else posted this morning:

add deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list. apt-get install ssh then added:
UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
Compression no

to /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Only problem I've come across so far is that most of the users have ssh1
keys generated for accessing mail on another server in the network and
3.3 doesn't seem to support it (at least that's what I think the problem
is, not having looked too deeply into it yet). Other than that, no
upsets yet.
