Dear Maintainer,

fail2ban comes configured with:
     journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd
in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/sshd.conf

The systemd unit for SSH has been renamed to ssh.service for quite some
time now and the line should read:
     journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=ssh.service + _COMM=sshd

Regards,
Robert

This is a duplicate of #1078208, already fixed in trixie but apparently
not yet in bookworm.
