Package: dropbear-bin
Version: 2019.78-2
Severity: important

The dropbear-bin package, comes with a tool to convert keys fron
OpenSSL. This tool worked on Stretch, but is now broken on Buster.

I tried the Bullseye version, and it is broken too.

For instance, the following command:

> dropbearconvert openssh dropbear \
> /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key \
> /etc/dropbear-initramfs/dropbear_ecdsa_host_key

Produce this error:

> Error: Unrecognised key type
> Error reading key from '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key'

- Key conversion was working on Stretch.
- I tried RSA keys, and it fails too.

I found some information here: 
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=250512

But the process still fails.
