Description Laban Mwangi 2015-02-18 23:28:15 AEDT 
Dear Maintainer,
 It would be nice if sshd had a config directory in the same vein as /etc/nginx/conf.d/ on Debian. This would allow third party packages to add config directives without mangling sshd_config.

As an example, I would like to add support for sftp-internal iff a specific package is installed (For sftp only access to a chrooted path). If there was a conf.d directory, the installer package could
have dropped the relevant config block and SIGHUP'd sshd. With the current setup, I'll probably be forced to replace the existing /etc/ssh/sshd_config with an appropriate one.

Please note that I had filed this against Debian (Bug#778675) and there was a suggestion that this should be fixed upstream (to spread the benefit :)

Cheers,
Laban
