[Bug 1123343] Re: do-release-upgrade assumes /usr/sbin/sshd exists if you are upgrading over ssh

[Brian Murray]

This code appears to be unchanged since Precise and so this is likely
still an issue.

Bug description:
  do-release-upgrade assumes that /usr/sbin/sshd exists if you are
  upgrading over ssh.  While that may seem intuitively true, it's not
  always the case, e.g. I was upgrading a chroot on a machine via ssh.
  The host/base OS had openssh-server installed; the chroot did not.

  Requiring /usr/sbin/sshd is not unreasonable, but the code should give
  a more useful error message (i.e. not a python traceback), if it
  doesn't.
