Sorry, this is the full templates paragraph:
Please note that this new configuration file will set the value of
'PermitRootLogin' to yes (meaning that anyone knowing the root password
can ssh directly in as root). It is the opinion of the maintainer that
this is the correct default (see README.Debian for more details), but you
can always edit sshd_config and set it to no if you wish.
