But the 80 lines of /etc/init.d/sshd do a lot more than just and stop the service. They ensure that there is an sshd configuration file and give a meaningful message (including where to find the sample) if it is not present, and check for the presence of the hostkeys (again which are needed) and create them if they are not present. Your 9 lines of sshd.service do none of this.
