It boils down to ssh-keygen actually.
It's impossible to connect to ssh daemon if it's missing host keys
from /etc/ssh.
The only sane way of getting those host keys is to generate them before
first launch of sshd.
In Debian such generation is handled by openssh-server postinst script,
and it involves ssh-keygen.
ssh-keygen is a part of openssh-client.
