[Bug 472264] [NEW] dropbear package does not include scp

[Ari Hyttinen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dropbear

Package: dropbear
Version: 0.52-2
To be able to scp _to_ a host requires scp binary on server side as well. Default dropbear package doesn't include this, thus leaving the server installation crippled for many/most purposes.

The only way to get things working was to apt-get source dropbear and
compile the scp myself, and then there was the added hassle of
transferring the compiled scp from compile host to the actual target
without scp.

Unless there is a very good reason to have dropbear default package
crippled like this, I propose the trivial fix of including the scp
binary in it. This would conflict with openssh-client, so alternatively
I propose a separate package dropbear-scp which would conflict with
openssh-client.
