  Description     : A set of initramfs scripts to add and run dropbear when the system boots in rescue mode

For a long time now I've maintained servers remotely. One problem that
I've faced is what when there is problem booting I lose ability to login
remotely and help the person on premises. Further more that person can
be not technically capable or comfortable with writing console 
commands. There are instances where there is not even a keyboard or
monitor attached. 

Following dropbear-initramfs package I've decided to make a package that
will install dropbear and would have the appropriate initramfs scripts 
to start it in case the system enters rescue mode. The hooks will try 
to preserve the hostkeys so security is preserved. In addition they will
not allow password authentication. I've tried to keep the package
compatible with dropbear-initramfs package. 

Since this is my first package any suggestions or contributions are
welcome. 

I'm also looking for a sponsor for this package so others can benefit
from it if it gets included in official Debian repositories.
