Package: dropbear
Version: 2014.65-1
Severity: minor

The dropbear manpage indicates host keys are specified with -r.
The init script is
  * passing -r for the RSA host key;
  * passing -d for the DSA host key; and
  * not passing the ECDSA host key.

It's not generating an error,
but it seems to me that the init script should switch to -r.

I also wish the init script would skip default options (e.g. -p22),
but I see no elegant way do that, without breaking backwards
compatibility with users' existing /etc/default/dropbear's.

If you're in the mood for a general overhaul of the init script, you
might also want to use /lib/lsb/init-functions log functions (metainit
package has examples).
