The config file is marked as "noreplace". This means that it's only an
issue in cases where the previous system has also never had its sshd
config touched. (And suggests that a somewhat kludgey but functional
workaroud would be to ensure that it _is_ touched before the install --
possibly %pre or %pretrans scripts would be sufficient.)
