With no response to this message, I reran ssh-host-config, which fixed 
the broken sshd and very kindly did not even require me to re-enter the 
pubkeys. It would be nice if it also offered an option for manual start.

Inspecting the ssh-host-config script, I see that installing the server 
requires some configuration options that I don't understand. I'm now 
using the firewall to disable the server by default, though "net start 
sshd" and "net stop sshd" would have been more convenient.
