You are right that this bit is compiled in, but the OS bit is a debian
thing.  Gentoo only shows the SSH version info as you would want.  If
you want to get rid of it, you are going to have to recompile from the
upstream source, or try and figure out how debian has corrupted it.

May the source be with you ...
