Adding Breaks+Replaces fields to the 'dropbear' binary package didn't
help. It's possible that I didn't try the right combination of
Breaks/Replaces. Here is what I propose as a workaround:
2015.68-1 → Strech:
revert commit e76daa2 and add
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/dropbear back to
dropbear-initramfs's configuration files. (This violates the Debian
Policy Manual section 10.7.2.)
from Strech onwards:
make /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/dropbear a symlink to
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/dropbear, which can been added
dropbear-initramfs's configuration files without policy violation.
I didn't manage to make seamless upgrade from Wheezy without the
intermediate step. It looks like dpkg can't handle the package rename
somehow: I successfully upgraded shamelessly from Wheezy's dropbear to
dropbear-{,-run,-bin,initramfs} 2015.68-1 (1st step), then to 2015.68-2
(2nd step).
You'll find the new upload at
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dropbear/dropbear_2015.68-1.dsc
(I added lintian override for the TODO note, even though the tag is
non-overridable.)
