Neither the package nor ssh-host-config depend on cygserver. Dunno how
you get the idea. Do you mean cygrunsrv? Yes, the ssh-host-config script
depends on it *iff* you answer the question to install sshd as a service.
I'm not sure if the package should require cygrunsrv, though. The
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README file mentions that cygrunsrv is
required to install sshd as service on NT systems.

The above installation of /etc/sshd_config is, except for a small Cygwin
specific tweak, the same sshd_config file as you get it when building and
installing OpenSSH from scratch. There's no reason to change that unless
the core developers of OpenSSH decide to install it differently.
