An issue (bug 2020474) has been reported in mantic which I believe is caused by this patch, so I am adding block-proposed for lunar and kinetic while I investigate.

[Where problems could occur] The fix expands Ubuntu's patch for systemd socket activation to try and make sure that any fds passed from systemd are not closed across re-executions of sshd. If we saw a problem, it would most likely be an attempt to operate on a closed fd, or the wrong fd, as a result of an edge case in one of the re-execution paths. [Original Description] In kinetic and lunar gce images we are facing an issue when ssh is being killed with -HUP SSH is failing to rebind port 22. It is not failing in other previous systems. It can be reproduced by running # pkill -o -HUP sshd || true # journalctl -n 20 Mar 13 14:58:52 mar131454-025105 sshd[1371]: Received SIGHUP; restarting.
