[Bug 1701298] Re: ssh_config should include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/* by default

[Colin Watson]

There are already bugs about an Include directive in sshd, so please
don't file more.  Also, it isn't really necessary to re-file this in
Debian since I follow both trackers.

Erich, could you give an example of the sort of changes you'd like to be
able to make in a .d directory?  Are you talking about site-local
changes, or things that might go into a distribution?

Title:
  ssh_config should include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/* by default

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It is not currently possible to deploy packages with system-specific SSH configuration settings without modifying the ssh_config file.  Ideally the default ssh_config file would simply contain:
  Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*
  as this would allow packages to deploy such settings without tampering with the main ssh_config file.
