Thanks for the detailed bug report.

What the UI should be doing is enable/disable the (open)ssh service.

There are some debian-specific bits involved overridden at:
https://sources.debian.org/src/gnome-control-center/1%3A47.2-3/debian/rules/#L4

Could you please check if you actually have the openssh-server package
installed and what the status is of your ssh.service?

dpkg -l openssh-server
systemctl status ssh
