sshd umask settings vs security

Will setting the umask that sshd inherits cause any security issues?  It 
would be nice to be able to set this in a system-wide fashion, rather 
than in .login etc.

I'm thinking of Debian, where the setting is per-shell because nobody 
seems to have thought of doing this.

Cheers,

Jeremy
