Thanks! We were discussing this related issue (similar to openssh) in
the team yesterday, and we were thinking whilst we might issue a DSA
for openssh, we tend to not issue a DSA for dropbear itself fo the
similar issue. The use cases are likely different where they are used,
so we think updating for the next point release via stretch-pu might
suffice here for drobear.

Would you agree and could you instead update dropbear for the next
point release?

Regards,
Salvatore
