When the openssh server is installed, it is disabled. This makes sense if it
wasn't running before the install, but if it was enabled when the package was
installed, it should be enabled when the installation is finished. At the
end is an installation log showing that it disabled itself.
This bit me today when I upgraded some packages, updated the kernel,
rebooted, and then didn't check ssh and I couldn't get onto my system until I
physically got to the console.
