This is all very well and true, but it's not what this bug is about.
Upstream OpenSSH doesn't yet support Include for sshd_config at all, so
there's no possibility of making the distribution-shipped sshd_config
include a .d directory.  This bug is about ssh_config instead.

Title:
  ssh_config should include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/* by default

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It is not currently possible to deploy packages with system-specific SSH 
configuration settings without modifying the ssh_config file.  Ideally the 
default ssh_config file would simply contain:
  Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*
  as this would allow packages to deploy such settings without tampering with 
the main ssh_config file.
