Debian generates keys only in openssh-server.postinst, at which point
/etc/ is required to be writable. Of course it can be made read-only
later if no package management is to be performed.

This appears to be something specific to Raspbian. In Debian, I very
deliberately do not generate keys at boot, because entropy is often
scarce at boot time; I've seen academic papers that indicate that doing
this at boot is the cause of many vulnerable keys across the internet.
Unfortunately, bad-but-tempting ideas can be hard to eradicate.
A bit of web-searching suggests
https://www.marcomc.com/2012/09/how-to-fix-regenerate_ssh_host_keys-failed-on-raspbian-for-raspberrypi/,
but I really have no idea if that's current. You'll need to take this
up with the Raspbian folks if that isn't enough to resolve this.
