You shouldn't. Replacing the vendor shipped version of something with  
your own is almost always a bad idea. Install the older version  
somewhere like /usr/local/bin or /opt/local/bin. Then write a little  
script called something like "oldssh" which runs the older version or  
just type the full path to the older version.

I did a quick Google search but didn't find an obvious pointer.
