Comment 1 for bug 1701298

Hi Erich,
I agree that would be a nice change to have, but I got puzzled checking the details.

In general it seemed to requires 7.3p1 it seems: => https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1585.
Therefore e.g. in Xenial I wondered to find nothing about the Include statement but that was 7.2.
But all later versions are ok, so there it makes absolutely sense.

It is already done for the user side of the config in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/739495

But looking deeper I realized that this is only implemented by Upstream for the client part (ssh) but not the sshd server (at least trusting the man pages updated with the referred upstream change).

That said I'd have to ask you for two thing:
1. This bug is present in Debian too and we carry next to no delta. So it would be best fixed in Debian, and then Ubuntu will pick it up on the next merge. Would you mind filing a bug with Debian please?
2. Also since at least according to my sniff check it seems the upstream sshd doesn't have an Include directive you might file a bug there as well and link it here and in the Debian bug.

For now confirming the idea and setting wishlist as for all feature requests.
