This is what I've done for my old laptop, but the dropbear package
is *not* needed for that! You just need the dropbear-initramfs
package (dropbear-bin will be installed as a consequence as a
dependency, but not the dropbear package, which contains the
startup scripts). If you install the dropbear package, i.e. the
startup scripts, this means that you want dropbear as you're
main sshd daemon rather than the one from OpenSSH.
