Confusion regarding the image feature ssh-server-openssh and what it pulls in

How come an image feature with a name like ssh-server-openssh has the following chain of dependencies:

FEATURE_PACKAGES_ssh-server-openssh ->
packagegroup-core-ssh-openssh ->

    openssh ->
      openssh-scp
      openssh-ssh
      openssh-sshd ->
        openssh-keygen
      openssh-keygen

rather than:

FEATURE_PACKAGES_ssh-server-openssh ->
openssh-sshd ->
openssh-keygen

The name clearly suggests that using it will install an SSH server, not also the client tools (scp and ssh).

Would a patch to change the FEATURE_PACKAGES_ssh-server-openssh to do the right thing and depend on openssh-sshd instead be accepted?
