To make working generator is not so easy. It is necessary to provide it in 3 
archs 
32bit le, 64 le and 32bit be. To run it on all the architectures. (Problematic 
is 
the big endian architecture) The generation of the keysets is time consumpting 
process.

It's more akin to a bad password list.

What?!

Openssh-blacklist is a list of bad keys that could have been generated
by the debian lack of entropy bug.

In it should be a couple of text files: A DSA key file, and an RSA key
file for each of a couple common key sizes.  Each file should have
100k lines or so with just a fingerprint on them.. all in all it
should just be a couple of mbytes.

It looks like that distribution also includes the full public and
private keyparts for the bad keys in addition to the fingerprints.
That isn't needed for bad key screening— that additional info is only
really needed by attackers.

After the vulnerability I screened the accounts on my systems and
found a couple of these bad keys just from giving my ubuntu/debian
running friends access to rsync data, so this is a risk for fedora
users too.

Not only should this install without requiring a live internet
connection but these, or at least a subset with the most common key
sizes, should really be part of the default ssh install along with the
feature in SSH that causes it to refuse to use these keys.

 Another interpretation suggests that you download the data in the

Maybe I do not understand your question. Now the srpm and noarch.rpm also

1) who is unable to get data from Internet and transfer it by other mains to 
another computer today?
2) how put various set of data of total size up to 1GB (2GB in future) into 
distro?
3) why user without Internet want to test his network security?
--- if it is user on great intranet, admins should provide internal mirror.
--- if it is single computer then the whole package is useless

We ship rather a lot of applications which are fairly useless without an
internet connection. If the data is downloaded from the internet when
you run _the installed program_, I don't see any problem here.

Unfortunately neither the reviewer nor the packager updated the ticket

I don't see any mention of the size of the package in the review.

This really is insane. The source tar.gz contains

openssh-blacklist-0.7$ du -h -c -s *
4.0KCONTENT
16K COPYING
26M fingerprints
797Mprivate
358Mpublic
1.2Gtotal


The SPEC file just does

  mv fingerprints/* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/%{name}

So there is 1.2 GB of data there that is never used for any purpose
whatsoever, its not even being used to build the final data that
goes into the binary RPM.
