I have spoken with Phil Schwartz, the upstream maintainer, in attempt to
introduce some more transparency and agility in the development process.
It appears that the next release of denyhosts has been held up by a few
technical issues which I am hoping to help resolve. While I would not
blame you for using fail2ban, I did want to inform you that denyhosts
should be seeing some activity in the near future.

As for this particular bug, the current issue is simply that Dropbear
does not use TCP Wrapper as OpenSSH does. This means that denyhost's
current method of using /etc/hosts.deny would not work for Dropbear. I
believe this is enough reason to tag this bug wontfix, but because it is
an upstream bug, I will let Phil make the final call.

Thanks
