Bug: The default configuration is invalid (sslhcfg: invalid option "--ssl")

[Colk-tech]

When I tried to install sslh on Ubuntu 22.04 via apt, I noticed that the --ssl option in the default configuration is invalid.
Shouldn't it be --tls instead?
I'm sorry if this is already fixed in new versions.

Version

sslh-fork 1.22c-1

default config

DAEMON=/usr/sbin/sslh

DAEMON_OPTS="--user sslh --listen <change-me>:443 --ssh 127.0.0.1:22 --ssl 127.0.0.1:443"

You must have another Ubuntu 22.04 than me.
I my Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS I get an sslh 1.20-1, when installing it with apt.
And yes, the configuration option in /etc/default/sslh has the obsolete --ssl option in the template.
However you need to open a bug with ubuntu, as this is part of their packaging.
