The build log also shows that the Ubuntu default path is not being set:

--with-default-path=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games

Title:
  Recommends: ssh-import-id missing in openssh 1:7.9p1-1

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ssh-import-id shows on http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive
  /component-mismatches as wanting demotion to universe.  This is
  because openssh-server in disco has dropped its Recommends on this
  package, which appears to be a misbuild.

  From the build log, I see:

  dh_gencontrol -- -V'openssh-server:Recommends='

  (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/1:7.9p1-1/+build/15632765)

  But debian/rules has:

  ifeq ($(UBUNTU),yes)
  server_recommends := ssh-import-id
  else
  server_recommends :=
  endif

  [...]
  override_dh_gencontrol:
          dh_gencontrol -- -V'openssh-server:Recommends=$(server_recommends)'

  So this is supposed to be set but isn't.
