Shorten the version string from the form "OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian

1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.1" to "OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.1", as some SSH
implementations apparently have problems with the long version string. This
is of course a bug in those implementations, but since the extent of the
problem is unknown it's best to play safe (closes: #275731).
