@item @code{generate-host-keys?} (default: @code{#t})
Whether to generate host key pairs with @command{ssh-keygen -A} under
@file{/etc/ssh} if there are none.
Generating key pairs takes a few seconds when enough entropy is
available and is only done once. You might want to turn it off for
instance in a virtual machine that does not need it because host keys
are provided in some other way, and where the extra boot time is a
problem.
@item @code{log-level} (default: @code{'info})
This is a symbol specifying the logging level: @code{quiet}, @code{fatal},
@code{error}, @code{info}, @code{verbose}, @code{debug}, etc. See the man
