Comment (by strk):

 So with the help or Jurgen the forbidding line was found in
 `/etc/hosts.deny`, added on May 1st.
 The ssh logs show that around that time I had multiple failing login
 attempts due to LDAP service being unreachable.

 Now if I remove my IP from /etc/hosts.deny I can log in, but the
 hosts.deny records re-appears shortly after. Looking at "denyhosts"
 configuration it seems that 1 failed login (DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED)
 results in 1 week of denial (PURGE_DENY).

 Adding my (static) IP to /etc/hosts.allow lets me in no matter the denial
 period.
 I've "solved" the issue like this. The ticket can be closed, for what
 concerns myself.
