  Uh yes. I should have guessed that. Now I symlinked /etc/hosts.allow
to /usr/local/etc/hosts.allow and it works fine. Thanks.
That leaves only the question why is it stated in hosts.allow that
"wrapping sshd(8) is not normally a good idea." 
  Maybe TCP wrappers before worked only with inetd and you don't want
to start sshd from inetd because of key generation so this is some kind
relic from that time or something? Just guessing.
