Bug#738593: openssh-server: changelog mis-description, ... upgrades create ed25519 host keys as well



Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:6.5p1-1
Severity: minor


Hi.

As far as I'd understand the changelog entry
  * Generate ED25519 host keys on fresh installations.  Upgraders who wish
    to add such host keys should manually add 'HostKey
    /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and run
    'ssh-keygen -q -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key -N "" -t ed25519'.
for 1:6.5p1-1...

ED25519 are not created on package upgrades but only fresh installations.

This does not seem to be the case (I'm generally unsure whether I like
the idea of automatically created keys... since this may also happen in
low entropy situations)... anyway... perhaps that should be corrected ;-)


Cheers,
Chris.
