Title:
  update overwrites sshd_config

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The latest update for Bionic (18.04.1) either overwrote or modified my
  /etc/ssh/sshd_config with the result that I could no longer access my
  machine using ssh.

  A specific
      Port [x]
  line was removed and replaced by:
      #Port 22

  This was the only change. It happened as part of an automated process
  this morning  - presumably a security update.

  Was this behaviour intended?!
