Bug#465901: cryptroot remote unlocking on boot feature

git send-email --to maks@debian.org --cc 465901@bugs.debian.org 0001-ssh-subject.patch

ok thanks for directions

i must say i'm not a big fan of shipping ssh in initramfs
enabled by default needed fixes in networking and such are of
course taken.

the hook script in the dropbear patch will only add dropbear to the initramfs if it's explicitly enabled (which it isn't by default), or a cryptroot is detected (and dropbear isn't explicitly disabled). adding to the initramfs is certainly generally to be avoided, but not being able to bring a machine up again from remote is quite some motivation, i guess ;) plus it turns out the increase in size and complexity is a lot less than (at least i) expected.
