reason is that dropbear only provides ssh and sshd packages openssh
provides a few more e.g. openssh-sftp-server which is demanded by
some images and at same time wants dropbear to provide sshd and ssh

Now both recipes are to be built but are in contention for providing
ssh and sshd

How to solve this problem. ? Are other packages that openssh provides
strictly depending on ssh/sshd from openssh ? or will they work on
any ssh/sshd ?

If they are independent then may be the openssh recipe should be
divided into openssh-ssh and openssh-rest so one can use openssh
provided daemon or dropbear provided as they wish

Thanks
