openssh unix dev - Sep 2024 - Default libexec dir

I know that I can use --libexec=dir arg when running configure for
openssh code. However, on my ubuntu OS, it seems sshd is using
/usr/local/libexec as the default libexec dir when I do not provide
--libexec=dir during the configure cmd. Can it not use the default
/usr/libexec dir instead?

It will use libexec under the --prefix that you specified, which
by default is /usr/local
