We'll need to be able to reproduce this problem before being able to do
anything about it.  (I have a modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config on my own
stable system and it wasn't overwritten on upgrade.)

Can you please provide a copy of your modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config,
along with the output of the relevant apt run (which should be preserved
in /var/log/apt/term.log)?
