It depends on who you ask, probably. :) What's new in etch (and
definitely a feature) ist that openssh has been split into a -client and
-server package. This is a good thing since a lot of desktop users don't
need an SSH server on their machines. And I guess that's the reason for
openssh-server not being installed by default. But I agree that one
could still argue, that a task like "fileserver" is mostly used on
machines where an SSH server is most probably a good thing. On the other
hand, if "fileserver" depended on oppenssh-server, that might be
surprising, too.
This might be a candidate for the release notes. At first glance, I
couldn't find any information concerning openssh packaging changes in
the draft.
