Bug#852320: openssh-server: install script sliently override config
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:7.4p1-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
upgrade openssh-server from jessie (1:6.7p1-5+deb8u3 -> 1:7.3p1-5 -> 1:7.4p1-6) sliently overwrite unmodifyed config,
that leads to unintented change commented ``AuthorizedKeysFile'' options.
-- cut--
-#AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
+# The default is to check both .ssh/authorized_keys and .ssh/authorized_keys2
+# but this is overridden so installations will only check .ssh/authorized_keys
+AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
-- cut --
This disallow reading ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 and break remote login without any notice.
