While trying to get openssh to install on my server (I have too little  
activity to generate any randomness for key generation) I realized that  
the way we redistribute the OpenSSH package is not a good way. As the host  
keys are included in Defaults/Settings anyone can pretend to be the  
packagers server. But without the host keys one can't run sshd. Therefore  
I think that some sort of action to generate these keys at installation or  
just a note that this has to be done in order to use sshd should be  
implemented. This can be used for other apps that need computer specific  
settings and/or files.
