Remove ssh/use_old_init_script, which was a workaround for a very old

bug in /etc/init.d/ssh.  If anyone has ignored this for >10 years then
they aren't going to be convinced now.

-If you are upgrading, but you have alternative ways of logging into

-running), then you also don't need to worry too much, because you can
-fix it up afterwards if there's a problem.

-If you're upgrading from an older (non-free) version of ssh, and ssh
-is the only way you have to access this machine, then you should
-probably abort the installation of ssh, install debconf, and then
-retry the installation of ssh.
