Fixed by Colin in 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u4 1:7.4p1-10+deb9u2 1:7.5p1-6 by hat
only Xenial still is affected.
But by now Xenial configs should work already since thre is already the
next LTS released.

Title:
service ssh restart does not test the configuration file
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in openssh source package in Xenial:
Triaged
Status in openssh package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I would have expect "service ssh restart" to run the configuration
test as "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" do. Or at least, I would have expect
to have a meaningful exit status in case of failure.
I modified "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" and mistakenly inserted an error. I
tried to apply my modification by restarting SSH :
# service ssh restart
ssh start/running
# echo $?
0
Because no error were reported I assumed that SSH was running with the
new configuration. I was wrong because SSH never restarted because of
a the syntax error in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
After some digging I found the error :
# service ssh try-restart
/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 100: Directive 'AllowUsers' is not allowed within a
Match block
Am I wrong to expecting that the new starting method provided in Lucid
("service <name> <action>") is equivalent to the old technique
involving an init script ?
