Title:
  recursive sftp transfers abort when destination dir exists

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since I moved from Trusty to Xenial, my sftp backup script stopped
  working. After a bit of investigation it seems to be exactly
  https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2528. Fortunately it was
  fixed in OpenSSH 7.2.

  I know 7.2 is pretty recent and not yet in Debian but I would
  appreciate if Xenial could have a fix for this annoying bug. If
  upgrading to 7.2 is not possible, a backport of the specific commit
  would also be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.
