Best practice to modify an error message in OpenSSH?

I want to modify this line:
/usr/src/crypto/openssh/session.c:1842

[CMD=""]printf("This service allows sftp connections only.\n");[/CMD]

Should I just replace the text in the file? Or should I make a patch? What is the best practise when it comes to modifying this? I really want the text to be the same when I later update and recompile this.
 
A patch would be the least you should do, but it'll probably need to be maintained. A sed replacement in the relevant Makefile might have greater longevity - just keep a patch against the Makefile.
