You might want to try asking in the Raspbian support channels instead. Technically I could download the image and inspect it locally, assuming I can even find it (including at least a download link would have been nice). At the moment I do have other stuff to do which is (hopefully) helping more people actually running Debian. You might try that as well (running pure Debian that is). According to this page https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi3 Debian runs unchanged on the Raspberry Pi 3. The images linked from there are not official, but they are build by a Debian Developer. The likelihood of custom scripts is, I believe, close to zero (though apparently this image is also set up for DHCP by default, have fun :) ). For a system that works as you expect it I suggest you do your own installation, either with Debian Installer or even with debootstrap. Thoroughly document in detail every step (e.g. using --variant=minbase for debootstrap can make a *huge* difference to the final image), or even better, script it. That way whenever you run into issues you can just post the script used and potential helpers will know what you did or did not. Good luck with fixing your ssh.
