Bug#267941: ssh: systematic restart of sshd at upgrade

[David ROBIN <robind@esiee.fr>]

Package: ssh  
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-4  
Severity: minor  
Tags: sarge  
  
Dear Maintainers, 
 
When upgrading, .deb scripts do not check the current status of sshd :

sshd is systematicly restarted. After an version upgrade, sshd should 
only be restarted if it was previously running ! 
The current behaviour is causing an important service to be opened 
without my agreement. 
 
Thanks and Regards, 
David.
