By the way, as of 2015.70-1 this is is documented under

  /usr/share/doc/dropbear-initramfs/README.initramfs

I didn't either, as I couldn't solve the halting problem I just poked
around to see why the network configuration seemed to loop :-P  Anyway
that file is shipped by the initramfs-tools package, so if you want that
behavior to be documented you should file a bug report there.

Anyway, if you don't want to add ip=off at boot time, you can also
replace /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/dropbear by our
version from the git HEAD:
