--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
It's explained in rfc4252 section 5:

> The 'service name' specifies the service to start after
> authentication.  There may be several different authenticated
> services provided.  If the requested service is not available, the
> server MAY disconnect immediately or at any later time.  Sending a
> proper disconnect message is RECOMMENDED.  In any case, if the
> service does not exist, authentication MUST NOT be accepted.

"ssh-userauth" is used in an earlier SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST to
request the authentication service, but the authentication is being
performed to request access to the "ssh-connection" service.
