On Debian, the systemd service name for openssh-server is "ssh", not
"sshd". However, Debian offers an *alias* named "sshd" which allows
people to type your command and still get a meaningful result.
However, it should be noted that "ssh" is the actual service name, which
matters if you're going to do something like creating a drop-in override.
Those need to be done with the correct name instead of the alias name.
