I suggest something like:
sudo dpkg --purge openssh-server
sudo rm -f /etc/rc*/*02ssh /etc/init.d/ssh
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
With the release of 16.04 LTS, some packages, including openssh-server,
are started via systemd unit files rather than the sysv-init
compatibility scripts. Once your sshd is installed again, check the
output of e.g. systemctl list-units '*ssh*'

Bug description:
I was trying to use ssh but it did not seem to be installed. the file
"/usr/bin/ssh" was installed the init files were missing. I decided to
add the init.d and rc5.d files. I was still unable to start ssh so I
decided to just re-install openssh. As you can this did not go well.
It seems I took careful aim at my foot and shot my kneecap off.
