For those upgrading from a previous version a warning should be 
issued: if you're not using "privilege separation" your sshd is likely 
not going to start again. The reason is that even though you're not 
using "privilege separation" (and therefor don't have a "sshd" user 
account) the sshd account is now /required/:

| NB. this change will require that the privilege separation user must
|     exist on all the time, not just when UsePrivilegeSeparation=yes
