--- Begin Message ---Package: openssh-server Version: 1:6.5p1-1 Severity: minor Hi. As far as I'd understand the changelog entry * Generate ED25519 host keys on fresh installations. Upgraders who wish to add such host keys should manually add 'HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and run 'ssh-keygen -q -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key -N "" -t ed25519'. for 1:6.5p1-1... ED25519 are not created on package upgrades but only fresh installations. This does not seem to be the case (I'm generally unsure whether I like the idea of automatically created keys... since this may also happen in low entropy situations)... anyway... perhaps that should be corrected ;-) Cheers, Chris.

The postinst only creates the ED25519 host key if "HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key" is already present in sshd_config, which won't normally be the case on upgrade.
