@Jernej Jakob: this is cited as 'released for 1.8.4'. There is a policy
for stable distros, never update the version. I asked for a backport,
did not get one. The 20.04 version is still at 1.8.2 and it does not has
this feature that was introduced after this version. It was released for
groovy, that is 20.10. But I had no right for it, I begged for it but
was denied. That's life.

As of documentation, yes but it's a pretty obscure feature and Ubuntu
devs don't have the responsability for writing man pages and there is no
need to document a non-existent feature.

Title:
  server: Match has no effect in include file (upstream 3122)

Status in portable OpenSSH:
  Unknown
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hello

  Ubuntu version: focal 20.04 LTS
  Version:
  openssh-server:
    Installed: 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.1
    Candidate: 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.1
  Expected: match statement in included files work as documented in the fine 
manual
  What happens: the statements are ignored.

  
  If you add Match statements in an included file, it will generate no error 
but have no effect.
  The exact same statements work in the main server config file 
(/etc/ssh/sshd_config)

  this is to track upstream bug 3122:

  https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3122

  it's fixed but will only be in 8.4 so it affects Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  where openssh is at 8.2.

  I'm not *absolutely* whining for a backport since include files is a
  new feature for openssl in focal so it's not a regression. Would be
  nice though :),  because include files are standard for any server
  software in Linux since at least a decade...
