Hm, speaking against what I've often been advocating (reducing build
time by factoring out dependenies etc)...

I think the simplest and most straightforward solution is to just
split the packaging into
openssh-ssh and openssh-sftp, where openssh-sftp packages just what is
needed for handling
the sftp-server in cooperation with dropbear. It could possibly also
include the sftp-client if
desired/needed.

The openssh-ssh package could then depend on the openssh-sftp package;
then there would
be no difference today for the distros using the complete openssh package.

I read the
>> If they are independent then may be the openssh recipe should be

part as just splitting the package. But now when I re-read it, it could very
well have implied creating two recipes; which I agree wouldn't be the best
option.

Anders
