The issue I believe is because openssh-server.postinst doesn't add new HostKey to an existing sshd_config file. Because of this, newer key format are not generated in postinst. IMHO, they should always be generated via "ssh-keygen -A" and the admin would then be free to include a HostKey directive for every supported key type.
