Bug#790125: RFS: dropbear/2015.68-1 - lightweight SSH2 server and client

I guess maintainer is a more important role than uploaders, but nobody objects
your good intentions, and I won't complain if you want to leave things as is :)

sure, better!

yes, indeed

maybe because it is created a runtime, not a big problem I guess

wonderful

I guess here the problem might be due to some missing break+replaces
prior the file was owned by dropbear,
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/dropbear/filelist
and now by dropbear-initramfs
so maybe you just need to add some stuff in the control file
https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition
(not sure, I didn't check, I see many breaks+replaces there)
cheers,
G.
