Package: dropbear
Version: 2014.65-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Postinst is generating keys for DSS & RSA, or converting the ones from
openssh.
It should probably do the same for the ECDSA:

This works ok on the command line:
# Conversion:
# /usr/lib/dropbear/dropbearconvert openssh dropbear
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key dropbear_ecda_host_key
# dropbearkey -y -f dropbear_ecda_host_key

# Creation:
# dropbearkey  -t ecdsa -f dropbear_rsa_host_key

So the support should be easy to add.

According to manual, /etc/dropbear/dropbear_ecdsa_host_key is amongst
the default keys that will be loaded automatically.

See also bug #761143.
