I think you're OK.  The new ssh packages primarily include stuff to check for (and reject?)
vulnerable keys.  The old ssh code itself did not have any problems.

Thanks. I also noticed that the new package did regenerate host keys when the existing ones
ran afoul of the vulnerable key checker. I would have preferred if it had an option to
regenerate them anyway, but oh well, it's easy enough to do by hand.
