You don't need that option.
ln -s sshd /usr/sbin/sshd_remote
sshd will identify itself as _progname, which will be "sshd_remote".
PS: I already submited such a patch some time ago, and another
person the same one some time later. I suggest it should be
documented. Documentation could state something around the lines
of :
The PAM service name used by sshd to identify itself, is
derived from the name of the program. It is possible to start
sshd through a link that is named differently, so that the
PAM service name is different (for example to have different
PAM policies for different instances of sshd running on the
same machine).
