Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

A security update was available for openssh-server

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Upgrading to the latest available security update using apt upgrade

   * What was the outcome of this action?

sshd config file (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) was overwritten without the
usual 'what do you want to do?' prompt when a package default configuration file
is modified.
I noticed it because I could not log in back to the server because I
changed the default port among other settings...

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The usual prompt allowing me to keep my changes or merge them with the
package new defaults...
