We could even try to detect a running sshd.service when upgrading from
openssh <= 8.1p1-2 and restart it, I suppose. It should not close
existing sessions, and new ones would not be able to be created anyway,
so there's no downsides to doing this limited-scope restart in a
situation where it is definitely required.
