this is triggered due forked & detached childs of the primary sshd process. If there are any users logged in via ssh they get there individual detached sshd process. Restarting the sshd master process by openssh-server's rc script does not touch any detached sshd. Upstream has been fixed by a heuristic: needrestart checks if it can retrieve the pidfile used by the rc script. If the pidfile has been retrieved its content is compared to the process in question to be kicked. This prevents detached sshds to trigger needrestart for such processes. Although this is not an overall solution it should be mostly less annoying.
