A feature request. #14

I have read the story from debian/ubuntu bug conversations regarding inclusion 
into these distros a deb package with lpk patch, and I have a feature request: 
please build deb packages disregarding to their opinion, since users have their 
own, and still want to use this useful extended functionality.

As an evolution of this functionality I can offer an idea of moving all of sshd 
config into ldap directory stored schema, like isc-dhcpd did. This can solve 
the problem with compatibility against "there complicated configuration 
optionss from upstream" (raised from debian people), at least, and provide more 
usefulness at most, as sshd will be configured entirely (server and clients) 
from ldap directory. 

The best way to setup such behaviour is to set specific environment variable in 
/etc/default/sshd , or even using host defaults from /etc/ldap/ldap.conf to get 
basic ldap/lpk specific settings by querying onto a lpkServer object (it is for 
an example, as isc-dhcpd does for now). This way their wishes will be satisfied 
since no new options added directly into sshd_config file.
