Public bug reported:
As distribted, the file sshd_config has apparently been modified from an
upstream version -- those lines that are NOT comments. There is no good
way for me to change any of them, even though there is a sshd_config.d
directory for my changes. That is because the files in the
sshd_config.d directory are invoked early, and the uncommented lines in
the sshd_config file override them. I would have to modify the
sshd_config file which defeats the purpose of having the directory.
I suggest to adopt a method that I have seen elsewhere: put all of your
changes in a file and put the file in the .d directory. Start the
filename with something like '50' so that it can sort before or after
any file contributed by the local admin. Keep the sshd_config file as
you get it from upstream.
This is, after all, the reason that the .d directories exist.
In this way, admins do not have to modify distributed files, which
avoids awkwardness when the package is updated.
The same applies to ssh_config.
