reason is that dropbear only provides ssh and sshd packages openssh
provides a few more e.g. openssh-sftp-server which is demanded by
some images and at same time wants dropbear to provide sshd and ssh

Now both recipes are to be built but are in contention for providing
ssh and sshd

How to solve this problem. ? Are other packages that openssh provides
strictly depending on ssh/sshd from openssh ? or will they work on
any ssh/sshd ?

If they are independent then may be the openssh recipe should be
divided into openssh-ssh and openssh-rest so one can use openssh
provided daemon or dropbear provided as they wish
I've run into that and have been wondering how to resolve it as well.

If there are currently existing images which are pulling in dropbear's ssh and 
sshd while using openssh's sftp-server, then that would imply they can work 
independently, even though that combo seems like an aggressive space 
optimization that I would tend to avoid.
yes if you build console-image with angstrom you will see it wanting 
sftp-server and dr bear for rest of ssh needs

sftp-server is just a really small ftp like program that gets run as the
shell when sftp connects instead of ssh. It has no dependency on any
openssh code or even openssl.

ok that solves my question about deps on ssh/ssh from openssh. So it seems we can refactor the openssh recipe


 This is the reason why the dropbear
developer decided to just use it instead of writing his own exact work
alike.

I was the one that added it to Angstrom images as I really like to sftp
out of the box.
