Since release 3.1 (2004-04-09) default ssh config directory was unified to /etc/ssh Distributions where /etc/ssh is default config dir: * Debian * Ubuntu * Redhat/Fedora * Suse * Gentoo * Arch * Slackware P.s. Can't find distro where /etc/openssh is default config dir. Proposal change: 1) Add symlink /etc/ssh to /etc/openssh/ 2) Add deprecated warning 3) Move /etc/openssh to /etc/ssh. Add symlink /etc/openssh to /etc/ssh 4) Possibly remove symlink Why: Almost all distros use /etc/ssh, so more and more software will hardcode /etc/ssh. No need to have non-standard config directories and hack packages to use them. More scripts will be compatible to ALT Linux.
I don't see any point in changing /etc/openssh to anything else, it would just break things without any benefit. I think it's OK to add a compatibility symlink /etc/ssh -> openssh, I don't see any potentially negative effects.
I think that making smth in ALT Linux similar to all other distros is enough to be a benefit. I suggest making changes slowly in few releases in order not to break anything, rather not making them. Let's start from creating symlink /etc/ssh -> /etc/openssh
