Yes, again the other templates in the package could do with a few
changes.

We usually try to avoid templates talking about their defaults, but
here it seems unavoidable.
Throughout: some Germanic-looking commas, unnecessary focus on what I
would like, and protocols like SSH in lowercase.
With those and several other minor tweaks:
The default port for lshd is 22. If lshd should run on a different port,
please specify the alternative port here. If you specify 22, you will
need to manually disable any other SSH servers running on port 22, other
than OpenSSH (from the package openssh-server), which will be disabled
automatically if you choose 22 here.

The default isn't disabled; it's set to "false". It's the SFTP
support that's disabled. Reshuffling:
_Description: Enable the SFTP subsystem?
Please choose whether you want to use the EXPERIMENTAL lsh SFTP support.
.
Since it is experimental, the default is for it to be disabled, but it
can be enabled now or later by manually changing /etc/default/lsh-server.

Another mutant spelling of GPLed.
lsh is a GPLed implementation of the Secure SHell protocol version 2
(SSH2), a secure replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp.
But is its license really the only thing notable about this
implementation? And... Why The Name?

I would also eliminate that ampersand, but otherwise this is fine as
far as it goes. It's just missing a reason why anyone would care.

Slightly malformed list (you can't freely substitute "as well as" for
"and"), and while I'm fixing it I'll add serial commas.
