The only thing we can do is add more of Should-Start: into other
scripts. It scales poorly, yeah.

Also you (it does not seems to generalize) can add ssh into $remote_fs
in /etc/insserv.conf and remove dependency on $remote_fs in ssh.

And of course, you can rename /etc/init.d/ssh to /etc/init.d/SSH, and it
will sort as you wish.

Not that I like any of above, just ideas from the top of my head.
Jesse, better ideas?
