Hmmm, right. In the BSP, a /dev/null symlinks works for this as well, but
we currently don't have a way to not install the postinst script. We could
do something like this (untested):

        $(call install_script_replace, openssh, postinst, @RC_ONCE@, \
                $(call ptx/ifdef, PTXCONF_OPENSSH_SSHD_GENKEYS,,#))

And in rules/openssh.postinst:

#!/bin/sh
@RC_ONCE@$DESTDIR/usr/sbin/enable-rc-once openssh

This way the script may be installed, but it will do nothing. If
PTXCONF_OPENSSH_SSHD_GENKEYS is disabled.
