Package: openssh-server
Version: all

During installation (or maybe the first startup, i'm not sure), the 
openssh-server generates 1024bit DSA keys. This key length is no longer 
considered secure and therefore should be disabled, or created with a longer 
key length.

However, not all SSH implementations support DSA keys longer than 1024 bits, so 
i suggest disabling DSA key generation.

According to NIST, 1024 bit keys are disallowed after 2013, see:

This bug is somehow related to 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481133 , but it's not a 
duplicate.

Thank you,

Stefan Safar
