Oh, is the SSH server still enabled by default (if you install the
openssh-server package)?

Because if it is, pretty pretty please disable it!

People don't use good passwords and they don't realize that their
password can be used remotely. Giving millions of people an sshd they
don't know or care about is a recipe for zombie machines and bad
security reputation.
