Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I included an Include directive in my /etc/sshd_config and sshd said it was not
recognised. Indeed, the manual of the installed version does not mention it.
However, ssh -V says that version is 7.9p1 (consistent with apt list openssh-
server), and the release notes for version 7.3 of OpenSSH mention the addition
of the Include directive.
I would have expected version 7.9 to have it as well. Was it advertently
removed by Debian ?

You've misread the release notes. 7.3 added an Include keyword for
ssh_config (client); a similar keyword was only added to sshd_config
(server) in 8.2. OpenSSH 8.4 is available in buster-backports if you
aren't able to upgrade to Debian 11 (bullseye).
