Ah right - to explain what has happened, I developed a new patch to change 
dropbear so that the functionality is now controlled through a command-line 
switch, and that is now configured in the image using a script in 
/etc/default/; if you look at the dropbear recipe in master you can see how it 
works. This avoids the need to rebuild dropbear depending upon the value of 
IMAGE_FEATURES which was not really ideal.

If you want to use the latest version of dropbear with an older branch I'd 
suggest just taking the dropbear recipe in master, removing the nopw-option 
patch (which has been applied).

Cheers,
Paul
