Hi there,

I wonder what's the best way to close this.  dropbear and openssh-client
can currently coexist, because the SSH clients have different binary
names: /usr/bin/dbclient and /usr/bin/ssh.  We could also install
dropbear SCP binary to e.g., /usr/bin/dbscp to have a non-conflicting
SCP *client*.

However that doesn't for the *server* part, since AFAIK a remote
executable called ‘scp’ is required by the SCP protocol (and needs to be
in the remote $PATH).  So I believe the options at hands are:

  * ask the OpenSSH maintainers to consider using an alternative for
    their scp binary (and possibly ssh too), or
  * provide a new package dropbear-client to ship /usr/bin/{dbclient,scp}
    and make it conflict with openssh-client.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Cheers,
