That was one of the first things I checked when I got home from work
this evening... the sshd_config file hasn't been modified recently and
all of the keys in /etc/ssh/ remain in their original states. In any
case, I'm generally pretty careful about not automatically accepting 
dpkg's replacement config files without diffing them against my system
first.
