mpiexec: SSH dependency

Asked by Nico Schlömer

I just bumped into a nasty error when submitting a package to the launchpad build farm that contains a number of MPI test cases (involving mpiexec). All of the tests failed with funny orte error messages.
I was eventually abel to track it down to http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2010/07/13508.php which says:

Adding "ssh" to the list of build dependencies indeed fixed the error.

My question now is: Should ssh be in the list of dependencies of openmpi-bin itself? Has anyone else had similar issues before?
