Colin, I did more tests and here's another issue:
sshd is stopped, and the 2 config files have these contents:
# grep -v '#' /etc/default/ssh
SSHD_OPTS='-p 12345'
SSHD_OOM_ADJUST=-17
# tail -1 /etc/init/ssh.conf
exec /usr/sbin/sshd -p 11210
# service ssh start
ssh start/running, process 30569
This is not just a wishlist. The package as it is now breaks expected behaviour
(the one you get after 15 years of using /etc/init.d style startup scripts)
and is not properly documented in the obvious places (README.Debian, for
example), with only a mention of
this new behaviour buried in chang
