Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:8.4p1-3
Severity: wishlist

sshd works very well without /etc/ssh/sshd_config, using just
the defaults, so I wonder if the openssh-server package should
provide /etc/ssh/sshd_config at all?

Providing and maintaining a (sparse) /etc/ssh/sshd_config could
be the responsibility of the local admin, if he likes to override
the default config. /usr/share/openssh/sshd_config would provide
a sample configuration.

This could help to avoid a lot of conflicts at upgrade time, esp.
for changed comment lines in /usr/share/openssh/sshd_config.

Just a suggestion, of course.

Harri
