Bug#786987: openssh-server: please have DebianBanner default to no

[ilf]

I agree with dkg. In an age where we know that nation-state actors ath the same time kill people based on metadata and target Angry Birds, we should do all we can to minimize revealing metadata by default.

I can see no real protocol reason why the DebianBanner exists. If Sysads want to enable that - fine, go head. But it shouldn't be default, unless it breaks a core functionality of OpenSSH. Which it doesn't.
