[Bug 1300127] [NEW] unnecessary configuration question

[Rolf Leggewie]

Public bug reported:

when upgrading openssh-server today from 1:6.5p1-6 -> 1:6.6p1-1 today in
trusty I was presented with a debconf question warning me that password
authentication for root will by default be disabled from now on and if I
was OK with that.  This makes sense for Debian bt not for Ubuntu since
Ubuntu uses sudo and by default does not have a password set for the
root account.  I suggest to disable this question for Ubuntu.
