Perhaps Ubuntu maintainers are not aware of the importance of sshd in general? sshd is vital on remote machines/servers which are running without screen and keyboard. ssh is the (almost) only access and that has to be reliable! It has to be up as the first daemon as soon as networking is configured and has to be the last service to be stopped on shut down - and it has to restart itself in case of unforseen interruptions.

Moving such a service to upstart at the moment is lightheaded and disqualifies Ubuntu for servers.
