Brett, I think Marc's 'only if cloud-init needs to overwrite the value to "no"' was less about the existing sshd configuration (afterall, if cloud-init is running, did the configuration have meaningful values ten seconds earlier?) and more about the user-data being explicit that passwords should be used in preference to ssh keys for logging in.
Certainly re-implementing sshd's parsing isn't ideal, even if "understand the current configuration" is desired -- sshd -T should be consulted, instead of trying to mimic what sshd -T does.
