wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/openssh/1:7.4p1-10/openssh_7.4p1.orig.tar.gz
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/openssh/1:7.4p1-10/openssh_7.4p1-10.debian.tar.xz

Decompress the code

tar -zxvf openssh_7.4p1.orig.tar.gz
tar -xvf openssh_7.4p1-10.debian.tar.xz

Install build dep packages

sudo apt install -y build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libc6 libc6-dev fakeroot dpkg-dev devscripts autotools-dev debhelper dh-autoreconf dh-exec dh-systemd libaudit-dev libkrb5-dev libpam-dev libselinux1-dev libssl-dev libwrap0-dev zlib1g-dev  libedit-dev libsystemd-daemon-dev  libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev

Prepare the deb file

dpkg-source -x openssh_7.4p1-10.dsc
cd openssh-7.4p1/

Take a coffee and relax a little

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

now package would have been succesfully built on root directory (cd ../)

cd ..
ls -ltr *.deb

lets install new openssh deb package by stopping it first

sudo systemctl stop ssh

Install it

sudo dpkg -i --force-confold openssh-client_7.4p1-10_amd64.deb openssh-server_7.4p1-10_amd64.deb openssh-sftp-server_7.4p1-10_amd64.deb
