I'm not sure it's sensible to introduce compatibility links for every
possible typoed version of a path. sftp-server has never been installed
as /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server in Debian; it was previously
/usr/lib/sftp-server, and I've kept a compatibility symlink for that for
over 12 years, but it's never been in /usr/lib/ssh/.
What is the old script in question at your site?
