Package: dropbear
Version: 2014.65-1
Severity: normal
After installing dropbear and adding DROPBEAR=y to initramfs.conf,
the system starts with dropbear listening on port 22/tcp alright.
Yay!
Even the SSH authorized_keys file is pre-populated, which is also
a nice touch.
Unfortunately, though, root login does not work. The reason is
discerned from running dropbear with -F -E and then seeing
[149] Jan 27 04:05:09 User account 'root' is locked
I had a look around, and I think the problem is simply that
/etc/passwd defines /root as root's homedir, whereas initramfs
mounts the target system there at some stage! Changing the homedir
to /root/root enables logging in, but obviously requires /root to be
mounted.
Maybe the best would be to create /roothome during setup for the
purpose of this package?
Note that this applies to the stable package, i.e. before the
dropbox-initramfs split-off.

After the rootfs was mounted, as you suspected.

I installed the version in Sid and confirm that the problem is gone!
Thanks.
