    They were, otherwise they would not have been kept back.  If you're ever
in doubt:
dpkg -l | grep {package}

    IE:

{grey at mania:~} dpkg -l | grep ssh
ii  kdessh                               4:3.5.9-1                        ssh
frontend for KDE
ii  openssh-client                       1:4.7p1-2
secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh/rcp repla
ii  openssh-server                       1:4.7p1-2
secure shell server, an rshd replacement
ii  ssh                                  1:4.7p1-2
secure shell client and server (metapackage)

    If there is a file you're not sure where it came from, dpkg -S file.  IE:

{grey at mania:~} which ssh
/usr/bin/ssh
{grey at mania:~} dpkg -S `which ssh`
openssh-client: /usr/bin/ssh
