Package: ssh
Version: 1:7.4p1-10+deb9u6

After an "apt-get update" on Devuan 2 amd64 (with i386 arch enabled 
because of wine), and trying to "apt-get upgrade", the "ssh" metapackage 
tries to replace the "openssh-client" and "openssh-server" packages with 
the 32 versions:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
   openssh-client openssh-server openssh-sftp-server
The following NEW packages will be installed:
   openssh-client:i386 openssh-server:i386 openssh-sftp-server:i386

To fix this I have to purge "ssh" metapackage, and "openssh-client" and 
"openssh-server" remains ok in theirs 64 bits versions.
