Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

The program 'sshd' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
bash: sshd: command not found

The error message itself is good as it tells users how to recover from the 
error.

The program 'sshd' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server 
anytime.
Would you like to run "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" now? (Y/n)

This might save about 33 key strokes in this case (vs. Y & return which
are 2) - this is really a big gain in efficiency

Cheers
