Ah, I'd missed that symlink, likely because I'd path-excluded the various
/usr/share/doc and such
directories already, my apologies for the oversight.

With other SSH services relying on this package for SFTP support it adds
about a few megabytes
on amd64 from pulling in the tertiary dependencies for openssh-client by
comparison.
