Bug#837733: openssh-server: debconf "openssh-server/permit-root-login" provides no way of specifiying "PermitRootLogin yes"
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:7.3p1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
It is well established that openssh-server/permit-root-login is a NOOP
(the result is always "PermitRootLogin prohibit-password"), but
it would be nice to be able to specify "PermitRootLogin yes".
Yes, it is not recommended, but it is the only way to allow
logins to preseeded d-i autoinstalled hosts if adding a local user
automatically is disabled.
