While trying to get x-forwarding on Lucid to work, I edited /etc/default/ssh to add the -4 flag, as offered as a work-around in various bugreports. When trying to restart ssh using /etc/init.d/ssh, all seems to work but my flags around passed to sshd.

It seems that ssh is actually managed by upstart, which is great, but you cannot really tell. For other services, there are symlinks to /lib/init, for ssh there isn't. So I assumed that ssh is still managed using /etc/init.d/

Please clarify the use of upstart (for ssh) for users, so they don't spend hours trying to debug what shouldn't be debugged. :)
