There is a (?) bug in this version of ssh.
Look in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ssh.templates, for a line
(about line 90 of 100) that reads
Template: ssh/run_sshd
There should be a blank line in front of this line, to separate
it from the previous Template: section.
Insert that new line, and then run
# dpkg --pending --configure
That should fix it.
