Strictly speaking, =E2=80=9Cdesktop=E2=80=9D sounds like it doesn=E2=80=99t= need an SSH server. However, the idea was that =E2=80=98%desktop-services=E2=80=99 would provid= e you the typical set of services you get by default when installing another =E2=80=9Cdesktop=E2=80=9D distro, and an SSH server is usually one of them. That said, I can see your point, and I don=E2=80=99t feel strongly about it. What do others think? Ludo=E2=80=99.
