There were a few issues, as it turns out, the particularly annoying one was in the init script which caused upgrades to fail due to sshd not being restarted, bug report here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=473573 The other issue was with a Debian-specific patch which was applied to OpenSSH which basically just created noise in the log file, bug report here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487325 In the end, the problem was with errors being returned from attempts to modify oom_adj. As long as we can just ignore those hopefully there won't be any issues. Thanks, Stephen
