Thinking about it some more, the cases you need to consider:
#1: you upgrade openssl to a newer fix version.  obviously you don't
want ssh to stop working and with this diff, it won't.

#2: you upgrade ssh with something built against the same major and
minor version but a newer fix version.  Right now, you can't deploy
that unless you upgrade openssl first.

is #2 a reasonable thing to do?  I would argue that it is.

Damien's counter-argument is from the OpenSSL home page: "OpenSSL 1.0.1
is now available, including new features".
