raspberrypi-sys-mods VS raspberrypi-sys-mods

This suggestion has actually been implemented in the latest commit to the github repo, as of yesterday.

There is a systemd service in Raspberry Pi OS that only runs if that file exists. It enables the SSH service and then removes the file.

Second, adding a third party repo to a "stable" distribution after the fact is a Big Deal. The way they originally did it gave Microsoft the ability to install arbitrary things on your machine. Even though that's been "fixed", now that the foundation has proven itself to be staffed by untrustworthy scumbags, you should be concerned about the Raspberry Pi foundation having the ability to install arbitrary things on your machine.

Doing an "apt show raspberrypi-sys-mods" lists a GitHub repo as the package's homepage, but the changes weren't published until a few hours ago, almost two weeks after the package was built and hours after people were talking about this issue. Here a comment by a dev admitting the changes weren't pushed to GitHub until today: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods/issues/41#issuecomment-773220437.

I think this is what you're talking about. As long as you've updated within the past three years, that's already happened.

There is no changelog about it and not even a commit on the package source repository: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods I was seriously worried until finding the responsible package and related topics on the Raspberry Pi Forum...

You can create ssh.txt instead. ssh and ssh.txt are both accepted.
