you don't have to upgrade any libraries or any other package if you
just backport the debian sid openssh package to woody instead of just
trying to install it outright.

apt-get source ssh
apt-get build-dep ssh
cd ssh-blah
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc

unless the debian packaging infrastructure is dependent on something
only in sid it should just work and be installable on your current
setup with messing with anything else.  if not you should be able to
tweak the stuff in debian/ to make it work in woody.
