How to download openssh package using apt-get?

The problem is that the package is already installed so I get only:

sudo apt-get install openssh -d
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
openssh is already the newest version.

Because of being already installed, I don't get the debian package. I should remove it first, but then I would lose USB networking.

I know that this procedure is possible with aptitude, but it's not available for me.
