This will break our setup. We rely on the sshd_config including the

Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf

directive and put a hostkeys.conf file in there, specifying the host
key(s) types and paths we need (we have a readonly rootfs, but do have a
place for persistent and per-machine stuff like this, so we use neither
of the /etc or /var/run paths).

I suppose we can remove hostkey-ecdsa and any other hostkey-* that may
appear in PACKAGECONFIG in the future. But I think others may, for
example, have a .bbappend where they supply a whole alternative
sshd_config with similar explicit HostKey settings, and this would also
break for them.

So perhaps this could/should be guarded by 'grep -i ^hostkey' not
finding anything in sshd_config or sshd_config.d/*.conf ?
