On my Debian box I'm running this:
ssh 3.6.1p2-9 "Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement (OpenSSH)"
...and if I say this:
fgrep /etc/default /etc/init.d/ssh
...I see this:
if test -f /etc/default/ssh; then
. /etc/default/ssh
...which, when sourced by the script, allows override of
(some of) the parameters mentioned in the config files.
And FYI, whether or not it's documented, the use of
that /etc/default/ approach is not just an SSH-specific
hack; other entries in that directory on my systems are:
cdrecord devpts dhcp
fetchmail initrd-tools.sh iptables
libnss-db lvm-common nfs-common
nfs-kernel-server ntp-servers rcS
rscsi samba snmpd
