On Debian, the systemd service name for openssh-server is "ssh", not "sshd". However, Debian offers an *alias* named "sshd" which allows people to type your command and still get a meaningful result. However, it should be noted that "ssh" is the actual service name, which matters if you're going to do something like creating a drop-in override. Those need to be done with the correct name instead of the alias name.
