Comment 1 for bug 707098

Looking a little deeper, it looks like OpenSSH has had this "oom never" line ever since Ubuntu 10.04 came out, and that Virtuozzo containers have had to modify this file all along. I never saw it before because my Virtuozzo provider had a pristine 10.04 image that they deployed -- I assume, with the "oom never" line commented out. So this was the first time that the package had been upgraded on my system, and it asked me if I wanted to "keep my changes" or "install the package maintainer's version".

So maybe this is not so much of a bug in OpenSSH as it is a quirk in Virtuozzo (that I did not know about at the time of upgrade). Not knowing what this "oom never" option is all about, I can not make that call.
