[emacs-berlin] Tramp mode with custom location for SSH config

Hello, I've instructed Tramp mode to look for SSH config in my custom
dir (documentation[0]):

(tramp-set-completion-function "ssh"
 '((tramp-parse-sconfig "/etc/ssh_config")
   (tramp-parse-sconfig "~/.config/ssh/config.d/config.whatevs")))

That SSH config is a symlink.

I get "could not resolve hostname ..." when trying to open
"/ssh:hostname:".

Worth mentioning that when I type "/ssh:" the prompt autocompletes the
hostnames defined in that ssh config - so it seems that it is correctly
loaded?

What am I missing? :)

thanks
